SOFT STUFF
This is another in a series of highfive spring posts, providing thoughts to improve operations. We all look forward to this coming week. The Masters “ternament” will be upon us. It is a week like no other. If you care about golf (and we all do), you cannot help but fall in love with the game all over again. Because people watch The Masters from every corner of the nation and globe, many people love the flowers, the colors, the striking boldness of the place called: Augusta National. People watch this event for the golf for sure, but do not kid yourself: they watch it for a thousand other, very personal reasons. With the arrival of The Masters, we all know spring and the golf season is officially here. This post is about the soft details. It is about the thousands of things about your club that gets us to notice it, to play it, to discuss it, and to come back to it. Here are 5 thoughts about how to improve business by spending time, energy, and passion on a few things beyond the budget, the rate, the green speeds. After you read the following, what about making your own list? Here is my list:
So, that is my short list of five. Be sure to enjoy this coming week and have the event on throughout the club. There can be nothing better for golf, than having everyone fall in love again with the game, with help from you and The Masters. Golf is the feel good game. Be sure to set the fun meter high, so that your club becomes the place where we all feel better about ourselves, just by spending time with you and your team.
