PART I
Item 1. Business.
The Golf Alliance Corporation was incorporated in the State of Nevada in July 2007. We are a service-based firm that hopes to provide opportunities for golfers to play on private courses normally closed to them because of membership requirements. Initially, we hope to focus on obtaining agreements with private
golf clubs in specified geographic regions of the country. Eventually we hope to expand the reach of The Golf Alliance Corporation across all regions of the United States. We are a development stage service company, and we anticipate that our development period will be executed in three stages. We are currently in our initial stage. We have obtained lists of private clubs in our targeted regions and have sent initial contact emails to the General Managers of over 20 private clubs.
Concept
Our goal is that golfers will no longer join a single private golf country club, but rather The Golf Alliance Corporation. The current membership system makes multi-club membership for an individual expensive and impractical. We hope that flexibility and variety will drive customers from single location memberships
to a multi-regional and nationwide golf membership where we allow our members to play at numerous courses. We hope to be a member at each different golf club and thus so will our members. It is our intention that our initial market will consist of current and future members of new and under-utilized private golf clubs in our regional area. However, since we have no initial market at this time we can not be sure what and who such market will actually consist of once we commence
operations.
Currently, if a golfer wants to play at a private golf course, the golfer must either join that club, or find someone to bring them on as a guest. The current system, setup by golf club owners, allows only members or their guests to play their respective courses. This makes it almost impossible for someone to play
a variety of private courses with any regularity, which forces golfers to give up this desired variety and flexibility to instead play at one particular private golf club. Public golf clubs, on the other hand, provide the flexibility the golfers are looking for, but at the expense of quality and membership privileges.
Our initial entry will be in the concentrated golf course areas of Florida, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Washington D.C. Golfers that join us will be members at all of our member courses. It is our intention to attract private clubs that are near one another
in the geographic markets we have selected. This will allow member golfers to play different courses near where they live. As one of the benefits of becoming our member, golfers will also able to choose to play other member course of interest when traveling.
After we have penetrated these markets our growth with turn towards the major urban and then suburban areas of the United States. We hope clubs that are not in participation with us will be inclined to join to gain access to our members.
Before golf clubs join us, club owners and club boards of directors will have to approve the decision. In member owned clubs this will most likely require a membership vote. Our member golfers will be limited to 10 rounds of golf per member golf course per year. We are limiting the amount of rounds that each member golfer can play at a
certain club since we believe this will allow us get approval to play at more clubs.
At this time we have no facts upon which to base this limitation of 10 rounds of golf per member golf club since it is just an estimate of what we believe the clubs will generally allow. We are trying to limit the number of times a member can play at any one club to 10 times per year to convince clubs to allow out members to play
on their course. We believe that this will provide the golfers with a reasonable amount of rounds at any one club but limits the rounds so that the club does not feel they will have too much play from our members and which would cause issues with their own private club members. Notwithstanding same, it is possible that we may need to increase of decrease such amount based upon the feedback that we receive from potential members and clubs as we proceed with out plan of operations.
The following table summarizes the pricing structure for the Golf Alliance:

Revenue Distribution and Apportionment
As set forth in the chart above, our members will not pay a fee to us or to the member clubs each time they use a course. The only fees that the members will pay and that the only fees the member clubs will receive each time one of our members plays at a course is the cart fee. All of the fees generated by us are the
initiation fee and monthly fee as set forth above. Rather than receiving greens fees or other fees each time a member plays at a course, the member club will receive a portion of our annual revenue based upon how often our members use their club. We will pay out 75% of all the initiation fees and dues collected each year from members to each of our member clubs. The portion that each member club will receive will be based on the percentage of the rounds played at their club by member
golfers as a percent of all rounds played by golfers at all member clubs.
For example: If we generated $100,000 in revenues in 2008 and there were three member clubs then these member clubs will receive a portion of $75,000 (75% of $100,000). The portion they will receive will depend upon the rounds of golf played by our members during the year. If members played 3, 7, and 10 rounds,
respectively, at those clubs for the year, the first club would get 3/20 ($11,250 or 15% of the $75,000) of the revenue, second 7/20 ($26,250 or 35% of the $75,000) and the third 1/2 ($37,500 or 50% of the $75,000) of the revenue allocated to the clubs. The large percentage payout of 75% of all the initiation and dues collected is intended to attract clubs to us. We are structured to be a low overhead operation and therefore a large percent of our revenues may be paid out to member golf clubs
and we can still show growth and profitability. The balance of the $25,000 (25%) percent is retained by us.
Industry
Customer and End User
We project that our customer base will be comprised of two types of customers: corporate and individual members. These customer types will have different influencers and motivating factors that drive their desire to join us.
The corporate customer can be defined as those businesses that rely heavily on sales people who entertain their clients often and which have executives who are dispersed across the country. They have largely been shut out of many private clubs due to the inflexibility that they provide to the corporation. Corporations
often can not afford to provide entertainment facilities for their executives and sales people at reasonable prices due to the vast number of employees that many of these corporations employ. Our services will provide these executives and sales people access to numerous golf club facilities in different regional areas. Multiple players could be added to one corporate membership.
We hope the individual customer is willing to pay a premium for added flexibility and would enjoy being a member of multiple clubs due to variety of play. Current members of clubs would be given the option to upgrade their current membership into our alliance for an additional fee. These members would then no longer
pay their club’s monthly dues, but would instead pay us directly and gain access to the rest of the clubs in our alliance.
Retention of members will be driven be the desire for continued variety and future growth in the number of our participating golf clubs. Our business plan hopes to retain golf clubs by fees paid and continued revenue brought to the clubs by our services.
Our most important attribute rests in the additional private clubs and quality golf courses that would now be available to those who could not previously enjoy them. We offer the value of flexibility and variety to golfers. Joining a private golf club requires both ample funds and commitment. The golfer is not only committing
a large amount of money to a particular club, but also committing to playing the same golf course. This commitment to a particular golf course can be increased with the monthly dues and restaurant minimums that are required for golf club membership. The more commitments that are made to a particular club the less flexibility and variety are available to that golfer. Our service eliminates the need to make a financial commitment to any one particular club and by doing so we open
the doors to numerous courses golfers would not otherwise have the means to patron.
Competition
Our competitors can be categorized into three major groups and they are (i) individual golf courses (“IGCs”) and country clubs, (ii) IGCs and country clubs with reciprocity agreements, and (iii) other golf alliances. The IGCs and country clubs are competitors because to entice individuals or corporations (“customers”)
to join us there must be a perception of value received by the customer. IGCs with reciprocity agreements are more direct competitors than the former because these organizations offer the customer to play at more than one golf course, albeit on a much more limited basis than we offer. Other alliances are our direct competitors. These organizations can be divided into two principal groups; nationwide and regional competitors.
The current companies in competition with The Golf Alliance are limited to private regional providers, incentive programs or corporate owned properties. The most notable regional provider is the Georgia Alliance of Private Clubs. This alliance is a partnership between 26 business, golf and tennis, and athletic clubs
in the Atlanta area. It is a private alliance built between the different clubs that allows its members to enjoy slight discounts outside their home club. Membership in the club is an option to members of the 26 member clubs and is an extra charge. The services provided by the Georgia Alliance are very similar to that of the Golf Alliance but on a much smaller and limited regional scale.

ClubCorp is a well known golf club membership company that owns and runs over 170 courses in the United States, mostly located in Texas, Florida and California. Their membership package allows for shared membership in all ClubCorp courses, but only at ClubCorp courses. ClubCorp has built few courses over the past 5
years and it seems their expansions have stalled. Additionally, ClubCorp Inc., the entity that created ClubCorp, was recently purchased by KSL Capital Partners, LLC. Their future plans for expansion are unknown.
Perhaps the most notable competitor is InVicta, the only major nationwide group. InVicta has club affiliation in 36 states and claims to have 1,000 club affiliations, but has limited services. They primarily offer their member a 20-30% price reduction on golf rounds off guest rates. This operates more as
a quasi-membership organization, as InVicta members have limited access to private clubs and pay higher prices. Members have some ability to play a variety of courses, but are never truly members of the affiliated clubs. In general, InVicta offers price reductions at public courses and access to few private courses.
Marketing Awareness Plan
Target Audience
Our goal is to become the premiere membership golf community; offering the most courses, providing the best service, and making the consumer’s golf experience the best and most affordable it can possibly be. Our objective and philosophy is to attract new member golf clubs and core golfers to join the ever-expanding web of private
golf clubs across the United States and eventually abroad. The more private clubs that join, the more appeal we will have and the more resources the company will have at hand which will help to lower operating costs and thus reduce membership fees, thereby attracting more and more avid golfers. Ultimately, we hope to expand oversees as well as target the top tier private golf course community in the U.S.
Our primary target audience four our marketing effort consists of separate groups, each of which we hope to market to in vastly different ways. The first group includes the new and up-and-coming private golf courses in the Northeast and Southeast United States. These are clubs that are not considered top tier. They are struggling to attract
members and thus would benefit greatly from an alliance like the one proposed. They may be located in regions where there is already one or more established private clubs and therefore members are reluctant to make the switch – golfers are content with their current situation. They may also be located in relatively remote, unpopulated areas where it is difficult to generate new members.
The next group consists of already established private golf clubs across Northeast and Southeast United Statesthat see the potential benefit of joining such an alliance – increased membership. These clubs have been in existence more than two years but may be searching for additional members due to low current numbers or
expansion of their facility (adding a second 18 holes, etc.).
Once these two groups are recognized, the next step is to target the end users, the golfers themselves. This group can not be targeted prematurely or they will not be enticed to join due to too few course options. A solid number of the private clubs must be established prior to marketing to the core golfers.
Specific Customer: New and under-member private golf clubs in the Northeast and Southeast U.S.
End User: |
Primary |
- Core male golfers, age 45-54, with household income over $75,000. |
|
Secondary |
- Core male golfers, age 55-74, with household income over $75,000. |
Roll-Out Strategy
Phase I – Personal Selling Effort to Initial Private Club Targets
Our first step in the marketing plan is to contact private clubs in the two selected regions to provide information to them about the benefits of joining our alliance. Because most of these private clubs will not be familiar with the concept of an alliance of private golf clubs, a professional and informative fact sheet will
be developed to send to the selected target private clubs once contacted. A web site with more detailed information for both golf clubs and prospective individual members has been created. We plan to contact 100 selected private clubs in the two markets once the materials and website have been developed. To date we have made initial contact with 20 private clubs. Our President and CEO, John Fahlberg, will handle all duties associated with this phase. It is
expected that this initial selling process will be time consuming and will require multiple contacts with each prospective club This phase has commenced and we expect it to continue until mid 2010.
-3-
Phase II – Building private club base
Once we have signed up 20 private clubs we hope to launch an expanded marketing program to the remaining private clubs. When we have 20 clubs signed up it should make it easier to attract additional clubs. The following marketing programs will be launched to attract additional private clubs:
- |
Press releases through local news publications touting our services and our private club members. |
- |
Direct mail to the remaining clubs in the target markets indicating that 20 clubs have joined us, along with information about the benefits of joining our alliance. |
- |
E-mails to the General Managers and Presidents of the Boards of Directors of the targeted clubs with similar information contained in the direct mail piece. |
- |
Follow-up telephone call to each club two weeks after the direct mail drop and email to assess interest. Once a club expresses interest, it is expected that the selling process will be similar to Phase I efforts. The time frame may be shortened as prospective new clubs will be able to call clubs that already joined to
get their advice and to ask why they joined and how they obtained board and membership approval. We estimate that this effort will last approximately six to nine months with the goal of gaining an additional 20 clubs to the Alliance. |
Phase III – Sales Promotion and Advertising to Core Golfers (End Users)
With an established member base, the next phase is to begin targeting the end user, the core golfer. We believe that through a targeted marketing effort to this segment can not only gain new members but also generate interest for our alliance through the power of word of mouth. It is believed that those who hear our message will
mention it to friends and family while playing golf. The more interest that can be created among core golfers, the more private clubs will want to sign on to accommodate these golfers. The marketing plan to attract golfers includes the following:
- |
Purchase a mailing list from Golf Digest, Golf Magazine or Golf Travel & Leisure. Based upon conversations between our management and a broker we believe that this list will cost $2,750 for a list of 50,000 golfers in our targeted states. |
| |
- |
Direct mail postcards to potential golfers with information on our alliance and a postage paid response for those wanting more information. We believe that this will cost about $13,000 based upon direct mail to 50,000 golfers at a bulk mail rate of $.24 each plus a prepaid return card from approximately six (6%) percent or 3,000
golfers at $.24 each. |
- |
Make phone calls to those golfers that requested further information. We expect that this will require hiring and training telesales individuals to make the calls. We expect that sales calls to the 3,000 responding golfers by two telesales people at 20 calls per sales person per day would take about 75 business days or 4 months. We
anticipate the cost to be approximately $12 per hour for telesales person for approximately 4 months for a total of about $16,600. |
| |
- |
Update our web site to show the private clubs that have joined our alliance and to allow golfers to join us via the website. We believe that this will be a minimal cost to us. |
Product
Design Model
We hope to target middle tier regional private golf clubs that are under subscribed or new. These courses will likely be more open to joining The Golf Alliance than long standing, higher end private clubs that are more likely to have full memberships. Our initiation fee and dues structure was developed based on targeting these
types of private clubs. Since golfers that are not private club members can’t play these middle tier clubs currently, we believe they will be inclined to join to gain access to private clubs that they couldn’t afford to play before. We hope to avoid the competitive upper tier golf club market that is dominated by our competition. Our positioning strategy is first to sign on an adequate number of targeted private golf clubs as members into the alliance and then to target the core golfer
market and obtain golf members. Once an established number of golf clubs and core golfers are obtained, we expect that it will become easier to continue to sign on new member clubs and golfers.
Before we can become fully operational we must first collect marketing data and produce materials. Our President, John Fahlberg, will lead the effort to develop marketing and sales materials necessary to begin approaching golf clubs. During our first year, it is expected that John Fahlberg will focus upon signing golf
clubs into the alliance and achieving a solid membership of 10 courses in each of two regions. Upon completion of these goals in the first year, it is expected that he will change focus from signing new clubs to signing golfers. The new golf members will pay the Initiation Fee and Monthly Fees according to the level of membership the golfer decides.
Our main headquarters and operations department in Chapel Hill, NC. However, we are truly run by the individual private golf club members. We expect that our corporate office will be responsible for financial matters including generating fee structure and income. Our business plan expects the core golfer
to pay their entire membership dues directly to the Company and then we would then pay the individual private clubs their portion. We expect that the core golfers will pay cart fees, restaurant minimums and any additional club benefits directly to the private clubs.
-4-
We expect the corporate office to also be responsible for all of our marketing efforts and new business generation, including direct sales, advertising, public relations and promotion. We expect the initial sales effort will be conducted by our President and CEO. He will be solely responsible for Golf Alliance operations and sales through
Phase I and II. Mr. Fahlberg will continue to handle most of the efforts of Phase III. He will be responsible for obtaining mailing lists, directing the development of marketing materials and getting direct marketing materials disseminated to potential members. Additional support will be hired on a part time basis during Phase III to make telesales to prospective members.
We are designed to be a central entity with direct contact with both private clubs in its membership and the core golfers that have joined. Both target groups will have access to all services we provide and are expected to direct all inquiries to corporate. We are strictly a service-oriented company, with no bricks-and-mortar features other
than the corporate office. We expect the corporate office will be staffed with a 1-800 call center responsible for all payment transactions and any inquiries that either the private clubs or the individual golfers may have. However, the call center is not responsible for making tee times or any other type of event scheduling for individual golfers. Should a member be unable to play one of our participating golf courses at a certain time due to overbooking, it is the private club’s responsibility to deal
with the situation.
In order to obtain exclusivity, we hope to contractually prohibit all member golf clubs from joining any other golf management system. All private clubs we target will not have any other current relationships with golf management companies. Our objective is to differentiate ourselves from all other management systems
through the courses it chooses and its clientele.
Operations and Supply Chain
We have been constructed to provide a maximum amount of value to golf clubs and golfers at a minimum cost. By not actually owning the golf courses, clubs or any significant assets, we hope to be able to limit total costs.
Our model is essentially a service based model that links the needs and desires of both golf courses and golfers with each other for mutual benefit.
By doing this, we expect to be able to take a percentage of total revenue (Initiation and Monthly Fees) while delivering the majority of the revenue to the golf clubs. We expect our major cost outlays to be our marketing/advertising budget.
The goal of our model is to keep the current player/golf course relationship intact. The golfer will continue to call the desired course for tee times and general availability times. Each member will be given a membership number which will be required when making tee times or dinner reservations. We expect this process to allow us to limit
the total cost incurred in providing services, and to track the number of rounds played by each member at each golf club. This information will be used when calculating the payment to each golf course each month.
We have essentially adopted an outsourcing model where the actual golf course ownership and maintenance is done through the privately owned golf courses. This design allows for little upfront and ongoing costs. We hope to bring the value of new members to our member golf courses. We expect the value brought to the golfers will be the flexibility
and variety of play that was not previously available through the traditional golf course membership system.
We hope to receive revenue through Initiation and Monthly Fees. Since most golf members prefer to join in the spring time, we hope to see a significant jump in revenue during the second quarter of each year. We expect that the Monthly Fees paid by the members will provide a steady stream of revenue and cash flow throughout
each year.
We expect that our success will depend on the number and quality of golf courses that we sign. Our first year is the most pivotal to our overall success.
Membership will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the membership contracts. These contracts will be drawn up during our first year of operations. In short, the member golf courses will be signed up for a predetermined amount of time, as negotiated with the golf courses. Golf members will
be granted a lifetime membership, as long as Monthly Fees are paid. Withdrawal by golf members is permitted at anytime, but the Initiation Fee is nonrefundable.
Because the Company is still in its initial development stages the Company’s operating expenses largely consist of professional fees. For the first year of the Alliance, there will be no revenue generated and therefore the Company will operate at a loss. The Company has successfully raised $80,000 through its private
placement and expects that this will be sufficient for the Company to proceed through Phase I and Phase II of the Company’s Plan of Operations. If the Company is able to complete the first two phases of its Plan of Operations within the estimated cost ranges as outlined in the Plan of Operations, the Company expects that it will only require an additional funding of $50,000 to complete Phase III. Therefore, funding will be necessary for the Company to complete Phase III of the Company Plan of Operations.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction
involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the
person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer
made the suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally,
monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum
at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.
Although there are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, we are authorized, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that could have this effect.
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after
providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Dividends
Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock, when issued pursuant to this offering. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors
will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future.
Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This section of the Registration Statement includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by
their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Plan of Operation
We have begun limited operations. We raised $80,000 through our private placement. We have begun to implement our plan to provide opportunities for golfers to play private courses normally closed to them because of membership requirements. Initially we hope to focus on obtaining agreements with private golf clubs in two specific regions
of the country. Eventually, we hope to expand across the country. We expect all business functions will be coordinated and managed by our founder, John Fahlberg. He will be the sole employee through the early stages of the company and will conduct all administrative, marketing, sales and operations functions. He has previously devoted about 25% of his time to us but during the past quarter and going forward it will be closer to 10% of his time. Our first goal is to enroll 20 private golf
clubs. The initial task was to contact 100 private golf clubs in the northeast and southeast sections of the country to determine interest in joining our alliance. The list of 100 private clubs was developed by purchasing and researching the private club data base developed by the National Golf Foundation. This has been completed and cost us $298 to acquire the lists from the National Golf Foundation. Now that the initial list has been acquired, we have emailed General Managers at 20 private
clubs. Mr. Fahlberg plans to continue contacting clubs and following up with them to gage their interest in joining The Golf Alliance Corporation. This process will continue through the middle of 2010.
By the end of the middle of 2010, marketing materials regarding us will be developed to inform the private clubs about the merits of joining our alliance. We expect this to cost $1,000 to $3,000 and take 30 to 60 days. We have developed a website, www.golfalliancecorporation.com. This
cost $1,000 to develop.
We hope to develop a detailed information package explaining how private clubs would operate within our system. This should take 30 to 60 days. We hope to mail marketing materials to the selected clubs. This should cost less than $200 and take less than 30 days. Follow up phone calls and emails will be sent to assess interest of the 100
selected clubs once they have received the marketing materials. This should take 60 to 90 days. We expect to send information packages to those clubs that have expressed interest in joining our alliance. This should cost less than $200 and will take less than 30 days.
Follow up phone calls and emails will be sent to the clubs once they have received the information packages to determine if they have decided to join the alliance. This should take 30 to 60 days. An enrollment package will be sent to those clubs that have indicated they would join. This will cost less than $200 and take less than 30 days.
Follow ups will continue to those clubs to get the enrollment packages completed and returned.
The goal is to get at least 20 private clubs enrolled during this process. The contacting and follow up process will continue until that goal has been reached or determined that it is not feasible. If getting 20 private clubs to join proves to not be feasible we must either cease operations or attempt to raise more money to develop and
execute a more feasible business strategy.
Once the initial 20+ clubs have enrolled, a marketing program will be developed to attract 20 more clubs into the alliance. This program will include sending information to private clubs informing them which clubs have joined, providing names, phone numbers and email addresses of Club Presidents and General Managers of those clubs that
have joined for their follow up. We will also request that Club Presidents and General Managers of clubs that have joined the alliance contact other private clubs in their areas to promote the concept. This process cost less than $500 and will take 90 to 120 days.
Once 40+ clubs have joined our alliance a marketing program will be developed to attract golfers to the alliance. This will include purchasing a mailing list from Golf Digest, Golf Magazine or Golf Travel & leisure, direct mailing postcards to golfers, following up on responses to the mailing and enrolling golfers in the alliance. This
will require hiring some part-time telesales people to follow up on respondents and to contact others on the mailing list. The initial goal will be to attract 1000 golfers to the alliance. This process should take 6 to 9 months and cost $30,000 to $50,000.

Limited Operating History
To date we have generated limited financial information, no revenues and we have not demonstrated that we will be able to commence our business through an investment in our product line and/or marketing efforts. We cannot guarantee that our business plan as described in this quarterly report will be successful. Our business is subject to
risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our new products and/or sales methods.
If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue expanding our operations. Equity financing will result in a dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
For the period from inception through July 31, 2009, we had no revenue. Operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008 totaled $31,265 and $70,514 respectively, resulting in a loss from operations of $31,521 and $70,555, respectively. Expenses of $31,265 for the period ended July 31, 2009 consisted of $15,574 general
and administrative expenses and $15,691 for professional fees and expenses of $70,514 for the period ended July 31, 2008 consisted of $18,524 in general and administrative expenses and $51,990 for professional fees. The decrease in expenses for the period ended July 31, 2009 was due to the decrease in professional fees to take us public.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of July 31, 2009 we had $4,611 in cash. We believe we cannot satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash. However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the absence of our projected revenues,
we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. Without adequate revenues within the next twelve months, we will not be able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to potentially achieve our profit, revenue, and growth goals.
We anticipate that our operational, and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total approximately $50,000. We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs
based on current planning and business conditions. The exact allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our business plan.
In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued operation of our business. We
anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
On November 18, 2008 we received a loan of $1,000, January 6, 2009 we received a loan of $2,000, on February 7, 2009 we received a loan of $1,300, on April 27, 2009, we received a loan of $4,100, on June 1, 2009, we received a loan of $4,000 and on July 24, 2009, we received a loan of $5,000, respectively, from a principal stockholder.
Pursuant to the terms of the loans, the loans are non-interest bearing are unsecured and are due on demand.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we are in the development stage with limited operations, no revenues and have a net loss since inception of $106,995 and used cash in operations of $92,839 for the period from July 2, 2007 (inception) to July 31, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement our strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities,
revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on
our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1) The period after the
balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about
a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the
adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Codification is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s
financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
The Golf Alliance Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Golf Alliance Corporation (A Development Stage Company) as of July 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations and changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2009, for the period from July 2, 2007 (Inception) to July
31, 2008 and for the period July 2, 2007 (Inception) to July 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of The Golf Alliance Corporation (a Development Stage Company) as of July 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its of operations and its cash flows for the
year ended July 31, 2009, for the period from July 2, 2007 (Inception) to July 31, 2008 and for the period July 2, 2007 (Inception) to July 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations has a net loss from inception of $106,955 and used cash in operations of $92,839. This raises substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 6. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE GOLF ALLIANCE CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JULY 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) Organization
The Golf Alliance Corporation (a development stage company) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 2, 2007. The Golf Alliance Corporation is a service-based firm that will provide opportunities for golfers to play on private golf courses normally closed to them due to the membership requirements
of the private clubs.
Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.
(B) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during
the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At July 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no cash equivalents.
(D) Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” As of July 31, 2009 and 2008 there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
(E) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(F) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(G) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1) The period after
the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about
a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the
adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JULY 31, 2009 AND 2008
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Codification is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s
financial statements.

NOTE 6 GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations and has a net loss since inception of $106,955 and used cash in operations of $92,839 for the period from July 2, 2007 (inception) to July 31, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through August 31, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.
F-12
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financing Disclosure.
Our accountant is Webb & Company, P.A., independent certified public accountants. We do not presently intend to change accountants. At no time have there been any disagreements with such accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(Exchange Act), as of July 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that our disclosure and controls are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board
of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with United State’s generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal
control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, Management concluded the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2009.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
