I was wondering this Course Seeker website is for the golfing enthusiast or some punters who can’t be sure Melbourne Cup will be run next year.

Course Seeker? Of course, it takes many idle brains to come out with such unimaginative website name. Such a name is uncool, and untrendy.

No one ever imagined Google could become what it is today. Then there are names like Twitter, WhatsApp, YouTube, Wikipedia, etc. which are quite meaningless, but they stick in the mind of millions.

Thank you for reading.
