5 ways to prep for a successful 2018 season

With old friends and new, you are working hard to build a stronger golf shop, a better experience for your members and guests. What should you be doing now that the Show is over, and the weather channel is not yet prepared to build a warmer day for your members? Here are 5 thoughts about planning for a successful 2018:
With the PGA Show now behind us, it is just about “go time” as you and your staff prepare for a great season ahead. Prioritize the experience factor and make sure to include every golfing group at the club. Make golf great at your club this year!
I have a favor to ask: over the past 7 years this blog has tried to bring ideas for experimentation that can make for a better golfer experience. I however have been working on guess work in trying to bring ideas you may want to know about. Today, I ask for 2 things: subjects that you would like me to tackle (in 400 words or less) as well as questions that I can help answer for you and your staff. Please text me at 407-973-6136 or e-mail me at highfives81@gmail.com. I will build my 2018 writing calendar using your thoughts. Thank you.
