PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Education
I believe it is in all players to want to play better. That is Work Experience
why I do not call it “Teaching.” There is much more to
the game of golf than simply trying to fix a slice. Most Tournaments
students do not work on their course management or
mental game to go along with their swing change. A Merchandising
strong Player Development Program will improve the
student and enhance the image of the facility. Player Development

STAFFING
Education
A quality staff is vital to any golf course as it is a defining Work Experience
asset to a facility’s survival. It is a well known fact that 1
unhappy customer will tell 10 friends, but it also known Tournaments
that 1 happy customer will generally tell nobody. I strive
to make the unhappy customer happy and the happy Merchandising
customer speak about their experience.
