Thread: Which way is best?

    Which way is best?

    I'm gathering information and hopefully getting ready to design a golf site. It will just be on a one state basis. I'm wondering if you feel it is better to generte all the information yourself IE: database, search funtion, etc...or just get a lisence/partnership to use information off of another site which already has the info you need ready to go? For instance, in a section labeled "course finder" I could gather a list of all courses in the area, build a database, search funtion, etc, or I could just visit a number of websites and get a lisence you use their "course finder" search on my site which will already have the information right there.

    Do you think it would take some credibility away from the site and be an insult to some visitors intelligence by doing this? I mean if they come to a site, they want that sites info...not some other sites info. If they wanted the other site's info they could have just surfed there...right?

    What do you guys think?
