When was the last time you had 4 hours to entertain and try to close a deal, build a relationship, create awareness for you and your company? Infrequently at best, right? Here is an idea, what about a corporate pickleball event to help close those deals? Golf is amazing. Time and cost maybe an issue... #pickleballpopups #pickleball #sportsmarketing #businessmeeting #newidea #socialfitness #celebexperts https://lnkd.in/e_njNa4f

An important Monday morning headline: https://archive.ph/yh5OH #pickleball “If you’ve never golfed before and I invite you on the golf course because I want to network with you and do business, it’s almost impossible to be able to keep up,” he said. “I can take someone onto the pickleball court who has never touched a pickleball paddle before, and I can show them how to play and they would have a good time in under 10 minutes.” If you haven't played and want to try, or want a good rally, I invite you to "net"work with me. It's so much more fun than golf (especially in July!). #networking #business #smallbusiness

There are many ways to increase the number of members at your golf club. Creating a membership offer is one way to do this. And, it will more than likely give you a short-term boost of new members. But, what happens to these members when it comes around to your renewal and there is no offer? Will you then have to create another offer to fill the void again? And what do existing members think of this? Alternatively, you can look at implementing a flexible membership category. This creates a pathway for golfers into full membership, whilst also giving them flexibility, removing potential retention issues and creating better loyalty. 📈If your golf club is looking to increase its membership numbers this winter, which route will you choose? #playmoregolf #flexiblemembership #membershipoffers

Is your golf course doing everything it can to create a unique experience for your members? There's a good chance you're missing out on what members really want. Statistics highlight that members value clubs that offer more than just amenities; they want connection and unique experiences. In fact, engaging members early and often, particularly with diverse activities and events, can significantly reduce attrition, which can range from 3% to 15% annually at many clubs. By elevating member-guest events to offer these enhanced experiences, clubs can not only retain members but foster greater loyalty and word-of-mouth recommendations. At Trility, our focus is to help clubs elevate the experience through personalized services catered to each individual golfer. We bring a new perspective on how golf events should be, and how members should feel. We invite private club leaders to connect with us as they plan their 2025 events. Let’s explore how we can help you craft an elevated and distinctive experience for your members—one that leaves a lasting impression and strengthens loyalty for years to come.

Testimonial Tuesday "This is my first year using Gallus Golf and we are thrilled with the results! Our big event outings (scrambles) used the scoreboard feature and it literally changed our itinerary for the day! No more hand posting scores to a giant scoreboard, no more searching for those elusive scorecards at the end of the event. All the scores are posted in real time through the app and are viewed by the golfers. They love seeing the scrolling leaderboard and skins winners throughout their round, but the real reward is on the back end. Outing coordinators already know who won before the golfers even show up for dinner allowing them to get their prizes in order. But the best part is for the golf course operator! We save 60-90 minutes by having the scores already handled and dinner is on the table when the golfers arrive. Outings that used to take 8 hours from arrival to departure are now closer to 6.5 to 7 which allows my staff to get the cleaning done quicker and out an hour earlier. The savings on payroll is paying for the app! I can’t wait to get deeper into the Gallus functions and take better advantage of it, but year one is a complete success!"

The changing landscape in golf membership offerings and virtual HCP models does not need to be of major concern to clubs, referring to Alistair D.'s recent article in The Golf Business.... "Among Farren’s worries are that golfers who have club memberships will sign up to Independent Golfer card and leave their clubs, and that there was a lack of figures presented to show how many members of clubs in England, Wales, Scotland and other countries have now done this." Resilience is key and the time is now to focus and prepare your club operations for the diverse, ever demanding, and more complex golf business models which enter the market, in even faster time periods these days. Nexxchange, with it's Cloud-based technology and highly parametrisable solution, allows operators to easily add membership products and offerings which are flexible, time based, with demand driven pricing, allowing you to continue to grow your markets, attract and motivate golfers to play more regularly.

Public golf tee times are under siege by brokers in Los Angeles. Brokers are buying up all the tee times for LA public golf courses and selling them for a profit. I wonder how many other cities are having this same problem? #TAGConsultingGroup #TAGGolf
