Ready to give a free lesson to every golfer that walks into your facility? Great! Let's all grab a Certified PGA Pro, pay them for 10hrs of lessons each day and let them do their thing! Problem solved. Hmmm, that's a really expensive and time consuming solution. There has to be a better way! Yup. Adding educational signage to specific practice areas can have nearly the same effect, at a fraction of the cost. Picture this: As guests are welcomed into your facility, they are reminded that the fundamentals are the "secret" to building a skill and fixing it when it starts to get wonky. Then by the putting green, they are engaged with a question about what they plan to practice...See where this is going? Don't know where to start? Ask us how we can help. Already have great educational messaging as part of your brand? Use the hashtag #freeTheFundamentalsGolf to post how your facility is making the fundamentals UNAVOIDABLY VISIBLE to your golfers in a way that all ages can understand. Looking forward to seeing the creative solutions! We will be posting the results as part of our PGA Show '25 presence, so show us what your brand can do! #fromgolfwithlove #golf #golfbusiness #business #golftechnology #golfswing #freeTheFundamentalsGolf

If more companies actually took steps to "grow the game" instead of just repeating the line over and over again, we would all be better for it. Golf consumers are starting to see through those empty words. Here is a simple equation: More golfers + more enjoyment = Increased demand across the industry Let's push each other to do more things that make people feel welcome, break down the cost barriers, and help people learn about this complicated game.

Worth a read and start considering

What is the best public golf cancelation policy we have seen among all our ~300 courses using Noteefy 🔔? Palm Beach County takes the prize. 👇 📈 Eric Garber, Eric Rein and the team have architected a fair, direct, policy that maximizes access, equity, and rounds. No shows are not acceptable when hundreds of other residents / public players would gladly pay rack rate for the time. They have an automated waitlist powered by Noteefy 🔔 in the foreUP Golf tee sheet which alerts golfers when cancelations occur. If someone no shows - it is $20 per person. The result is an incredible volume of rounds, minimal no shows, and happy golfers that know they have a fair shot. This is no different than going to a movie theater, where you will be charged if you no show. Same with a flight or hotel. I would love to see every operator use this approach. See it in action here: Eric and I will discuss on an upcoming episode of Revenue Alert!
