Making racket sports "approachable" has several benefits, as it encourages wider participation and promotes a healthier lifestyle. Here are some reasons why it's important to make racket sports approachable: 1. Inclusivity: By removing barriers to entry, such as cost and skill level, more people can participate, regardless of their background, age, or fitness level. This fosters a sense of inclusivity and diversity. 2. Confidence Building: Participation in racket sports can boost self-confidence as people learn and progress in the sport. This newfound confidence can extend to other areas of life. 3. Fun and Recreation: Ultimately, making racket sports approachable is about ensuring that people have opportunities to enjoy themselves, have fun, and engage in a recreational activity that brings joy to their lives. Shout out to Jack and Jill of America, Inc. for understanding this and making it available throughout their network.

The event is June 6-8, but let's break that schedule down ⬇️ It's officially a three-day event, but check out the breakdown of what each day looks like commitment-wise. Thursday, June 6 - Trivia Competition at Naked River Brewing Co. from 5-8 PM - You'll only need to send 5 people to represent the company, although you're welcome to bring more to cheerlead/support/have some drinks Friday, June 7 - Bowling Competition at Spare Time from 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM - You'll send 5-10 people to represent the company on the bowling team. You can pick a time from 12:30 PM - 4:30 PM to stop by, whatever your team prefers. Saturday, June 8 - The Field Day Event at Finley Stadium and First Horizon Pavilion - Officially 7:30 AM - 4 PM - This is the day you want the entire company to come out. It's way more fun if you have everyone come out and stay/tailgate all day, but if you have employees who need to pop in and out, they are welcome to. Corporate Challenge is flexible so people can still participate even if they can't stay all day. It's also family-friendly - families are more than welcome to come out and support, although they cannot physically participate in the challenges.

They nail both the emotional and value of joining a club, and demonstrate how their resources and facilities support their values and mission. The ability to clearly communicate your vision is not a panacea, but it provides a NORTH STAR for your staff and attracts consumers who believe what you believe.

PROFESSIONAL GOLF: WHAT’S THE BUZZ? It has yet to find a balanced and safe equilibrium. If you or your business are invested in professional golf tours, it’s an unsettling time, or an exciting time…depending on your perspective. How have American consumers perspectives of professional golf been affected by the tours’ drama over the last 12 months? Rocket Yard Sports partnered with Gather and their data partner, YouGov Sport, to learn more about professional golf’s buzz. 

Last year, only 37% of New England Country Club’s golfers were finishing on pace. Tagmarshal’s pace of play management system helped them get that number to 84% within 3 months. New England CC partnered with Tagmarshal to: - Improve course flow for their members and players - Reduce their average round time - Gather data to aid better decision-making. That 47% improvement in pace meant that 827 rounds were positively impacted in one month alone, leading to an enhanced player experience for hundreds of golfers. Happy golfers = repeat play, positive referrals and increased spend at on-course facilities. Chip Hierlihy, PGA, the Fieldstone Golf Club GM, recently said, “If you’re not part of what’s current in technology today to optimize your business, then you’re really missing the boat.” There’s a reason more than 500 courses around the world, including 2024 Major hosts Pinehurst and Valhalla, trust Tagmarshal to help them with their pace of play and on-course operations.
