How to be more like the circus
Well it appears the Circus has left town for the last time. As kids, we loved the Circus. You may have seen it live or many times on television, as I did. The Circus was an amazing spectacle for kids and adults alike. We loved the grandness, the acts, and of course the animals. We also loved the speed of the show. It was a fast, always moving event, that kept our eyes wide open, and our hearts thumping hard. The Circus had energy, passion, and a full range of color, brought to us by people wanting to entertain and educate us. So many times, when I think about our industry, right down to the property, I wish we were more like the Circus, where energy was high, and where there was always something happening, something to look forward to. As we think about growing our business, this post will provide a view thoughts on how to be more like the Circus. Here are my 5 thoughts:
Yes, the Circus has left town, never to return. That is a great tradition, many of us will miss. Work to develop programs built on education, entertainment, and fun. When you create a calendar built for your golfers young and old, you will create a new tradition, one where your property becomes the center of attention. Work this off-season to make your club, that place where kids and adults want to be around, all season long.
