Joy To Our World
Although it may sound as if I am changing a popular Christmas song, I am not. I have been thinking about our game and the many discussions about growing this game. In addition to the many programs, the hard pieces to growing golf, maybe we should also look at the soft side to growth. Just maybe we have hit that fork and should take that road less traveled.
We know that many industry people have been working hard, some for many years, on growing new golfers and rounds. There are several stories of success. However, we need more, many more facility leaders, managers, and staffers to put this game on their backs and move it forward. Maybe we need to work a bit less hard on marketing and executing programs, and bring out the things that drive us every day……our love of the game.
What if we each let our love of the game show through to help us create a contagious passion for golf. A guy named Bubba won last week! Just that name brings out a sense of fun. As we move through the early parts of the season lets work with your staff on ways to create growth through their joy.
Here are 5 thoughts about moving the game forward at your facility:
Bubba won last week. This might just be the time to pay forward your passion, your love, and your joy so that millions can move from that spark of interest to the amazement of finding the sweet spot. Joy for the game? Surely it is in you. Maybe its time to celebrate the joys of this season……..
