Sell My Timeshare

Please pardon our appearance as we get some new great changes in place to provide you with greater ease, clarity, and access to top-notch information on timeshares, vacation ownership, fractionals, condotels, and traveling.

Golf great Phil Mickelson is a new timeshare owner, and it only cost him $3.4 million

I’ve suggested before that you plan your timesharing to put you in the right place for viewing the major (or even the minor) events of the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour. Perhaps golf legend Phil Mickelson is now taking advice from SellMyTimeshareNOW.

With the 2010 British Open scheduled for St. Andrews, Phil Mickelson has recently spent $3.4 million for the use of nine weeks annually of a penthouse suite with views to the first and eighteenth holes on the famous Old Course. The building, currently in use as a dormitory by St. Andrews University, will soon be renovated as a private club and timeshare.

Let’s see, Mickelson’s timeshare in Scotland (which I think should really be called a fractional) averages out to a little less than $400,000 per week. You may not be able to get a view of the first tee at St. Andrews, but I think you can shop the timeshare resales at SellMyTimeshareNOW and find a great golf timeshare for a whole lot less.

Lifetime member of the PGA Tour, Bobby Cole, to wear the SMTN logos.

Bobby Cole, PGA Tour veteran, and winner of 22 professional tournaments, will play this week in one of the major events of senior professional golf, the US Senior Open. This year’s tournament, the 27^th US Senior Open, will feature 155 of the world’s top golfers age 50 and over. With tee times starting early on Thursday morning, by Friday afternoon the field will be cut to only the low 60 scorers and those tied at the sixtieth spot. Those who survive to play the weekend will be competing for a purse estimated at $2.8 million, with the winner’s share being nearly a half million dollars.

South African born Bobby Cole will play wearing the SellMyTimeshareNOW logo as he competes for his spot at the top of the leaderboard. Bobby’s worldwide tournament wins include The British Amateur, The South African Open (twice), The South African PGA Championship, The Buick Open, The Seattle Everett Open, and both the team and the individual win in the 1974 World Cup of Golf. He has had 8 top ten finishes in the PGA Championship, the US Open, and the British Open, and finished 3rd in the 1975 British Open, one stroke back of Tom Watson and Jack Newton, who played off for the win. Bobby’s records as the youngest player to make the cut and play the Masters, and the youngest winner of the British Amateur still stand today. With more than 150 cuts made and a tournament win, he is a Lifetime Member of the US PGA Tour.

SellMyTimeshare NOW is proud to be one of Bobby’s sponsors. So go low Bobby; we’re all rooting for you.

Here’s some holiday wishes, plus a timely innovation which could help us achieve our goals in the new year.

As holiday festivities are already well under way in many parts of the world, the Timeshare Owners’ Blog would like to extend our best wishes and hopes to all of our readers, along with sincere wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

2005 is in her final days, never to seen again. Everywhere, people are trying to finish up this year’s activities to make room for next year’s workload. Accordingly, it seems quite timely to bring up the subject of “Clocky”. Clocky is the brainchild of scientists at MIT’s Media Lab, and is designed, to put it bluntly, to be the most annoying alarm clock on the planet.

The device itself looks harmless enough, except for its padded exterior and those suspicious wheels on either side. Wake up and bound out of bed, and Clocky is nothing more than a well-mannered home appliance. But be a slacker and hit the snooze button and Clocky will make you pay for your sleep-loving ways.

The snooze button brings out the worst in Clocky, causing it to immediately roll off your bedside table and seek the most inconvenient hiding spot possible. Whereupon, Clocky will sound the alarm again, forcing the sleepyhead to abandon warmth and comfort to find the alarming offender. 

Worst of all, Clocky is programmed to seek new hiding places each and every morning.

Actually, Clocky (which should be available to the public in 2006) may turn out to be an ideal solution for those of us who fight the interruption of peaceful slumber that is inevitably brought on each day by an alarm clock, a spouse, our children, the dog, the telephone, or that inexcusably noisy garbage truck on the corner.

Which brings me back to the timely matter of timeshares. Don’t just try to use your timeshare in 2006—DO IT. Don’t just think about renting a timeshare or investing in a timeshare resale—MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Schedule a vacation and take it. Leave your alarm clock—whatever kind you prefer to use—in a different time zone and go on holiday. There are plenty of well-meaning things (like Clocky) that make it easier do what we have to do. But there are only a few things—and owning a timeshare is one of them—that make it easier do what we really want to do.
