First of all, welcome to Wikipedia! We all look forward to more great contributions by you. I was wondering if you were interested in joining Wikiproject Golf, which is a group of people working together on golf related topics, and I see this is one of your interests. Come and take a look, and if you want, put your name down! Hope to see you there! Grover 04:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is a "newsletter" of sorts. It's designed to let you know whats going on with the WikiProject. Contact me, Grovermj, if there is anything i could improve, or if you would like to write the newsletter yourself, because i'm certainly not skilled and experienced at this. Call it a test run.
Well, it's been a month since the project has started, and 4 new articles have been made by editors in the project. They can be found here.
The template {{Wikiproject Golf}} has been added to a total of 794 articles. We are most probably more than half way there.
Badbilltucker has proposed "Wikipedia Week" starting on the 15th of January. Details can be found here.

Well, this newsletter is new. I'm still mucking around with the layout, so if someone feels it could be better, go right ahead and change it. The newsletter page is right here.
An article has been selected for a drive to featured status, Jack Nicklaus. The article is currently rated a B, and is currently a Good Article candidate (thanks to The Giant Puffin). A to-do list has been set up in the talk page, see what you can do, or add a new thing to do which you think you could write well.

An assessment department has been set up. To find out how to assess an article, go to the assessment page.
I have asked Snowolf if his bot could help in tagging articles. The response is still pending, but hopefully we will soon have more of an idea of how many articles we have.
During the two months since the last newsletter, Annika Sorenstam has reached good article status. Congratulations to all who worked on this article.

Welcome to the 5th issue of the WikiProject Golf newsletter! There are a few new additions that I hope will be up and running soon. A welcome message and an invitation message for prospective members should be ready within two weeks. A collaboration of the fortnight, or collaboration of the month i'm hoping will be ready by the time of next month's newsletter.
Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 6 – July 2007). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing!
Hi Heatfan55
I thought that a way to further improve the golf articles on Wikipedia is for the whole project to work together towards a goal. An example of this could be a certain number of good articles in so many months, or to create the project's first ever featured article. If you are interested, come to the talk page and discuss it. And hopefully through this the project can continue to work towards several goals in the near future.
