May I Ask You 4 Questions?

We sometimes take for granted how fortunate we are

We sometimes take for granted how fortunate we are. I had the pleasure of playing yesterday the recently Gil Hanse renovated 7,039 yards, Par 71 Denver Country Club with the former Vice President of the USGA, who is a member of the R&A and the Paradise Valley CC and the owner of the prestigious Club at Ravenna, a Jay Morrish design.

It is the perfect course as we all age. It requires some well-struck shots but is forgiving enough, particularly off the tee, that it makes for a very enjoyable round. It was refreshing to play a golf course where the breaks in the greens were subtle contrasting to the dramatic green complexes with severe slopes that become in vogue.

The Denver CC reflects the contemporary private club today with tennis, pickleball, swimming, ice hockey rink, and contemporary men's and women's merchandise outlets with the culture embedded in tradition.

I was impressed and surprised by the custom-made bag tag etching our name.

The Rendition Golf Course, www.renditionsgolf.com,

The Rendition Golf Course, www.renditionsgolf.com, at 1380 W Central Ave, Davidsonville, MD 21035, managed by Landscapes Unlimited with a prime time green fee rate of $124, inclusive of cart and range balls, provides 18 replica holes, including the 11th, 12th and 13 at Augusta, the 11th at Merion and the 17th at Sawgrass with great authenticity. As one plays the 7th hole (the 11th at Augusta), music plays from the cart GPS screen to the theme song of the Masters.

The sign on each sign states, "Renditions has not received permission to copy the selected hole and is not associated with, affiliated with, or sponsored by the golf courses, champions, or championships listed here."

One might recall the litigation that "Tour 18" faced in copying the Lighthouse from Harbor Town at their Dallas and Houston courses.

I would recommend the course. While I had played 12 of the 18 holes, my playing companions enjoyed the experience of playing the simulated holes.

May I Ask You Four Questions?

Do you know the significant differences between operating golf courses in Asia, the United Kingdom, and the United States? Pages 41 -57 provide a comprehensive overview of the benefits of each golf management model.

Unsure about the implication of rate changes on potential revenue or whether renovations or capital investments are prudent. Page 138 - 141 will provide two examples of golf courses that undertook a unique financial analysis that you can utilize to project your 2025 return on investment.

Would you invest $200 for up to a 3000% return? Learn on pages 160-161 what six Colorado golf courses have done beyond dynamic pricing to boost revenue from $90,000 to over $600,000 with excellent customer acceptance.

Would you like to see the best practices of 35 golf courses worldwide that you might be inspired to emulate to enhance your customer experience? See pages 228-257.

These four examples are just a brief snippet of the insights provided to managing a golf course.

In the 24 days since the book was published, a Professional Golf Management Program has invested in it for its students, leading course operators in Canada, Spain, and the United States have acquired it, and employees of two of the largest golf associations have obtained it to ensure they remain at the forefront of the business of golf.

With Fall and Winter approaching, this is the optimum time to embrace and implement into your 2025 business plan what the leading golf course managers are accomplishing to create value for their golfers on a foundation that optimizes the financial performance of their facilities.

Queenstown Harbor Golf Course on the eastern side

Queenstown Harbor Golf Course on the eastern side of the five mile long Bay Bridge from Annapolis is a fine par 72 slope rated 131 course with many forces carries. Not for the faint of heart. Take extra balls - you may need a few. Worst round of the year by a wide margin. Living in Colorado, forgot how long a 6,500 yard course plays at sea level. The Brick companies, the owner, do a nice job with customer service. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #ngf #asgca #gcsaa #queenstownharbor

US Naval Academy football game vs. Bucknell. The traditions of the academy are so special. The midshipman marched from the campus to the stadium - 40 minutes. Their entry into the stadium is impressive and singing Blue and Gold at the end of the game. Should be on everyone’s bucket list. #jkeegan #jjkeegangolf #usnavy #annapolis

ASTUTE MARKETING The Dashline email notifying th

ASTUTE MARKETING

The Dashline email notifying that one's account is about to be deleted is, to me, a very compelling email.

If one is interested in maintaining a relationship with the vendor, it prompts the customer to action. If one isn't interested in maintaining the relationship, two positive things will happen. The vendor cleans their database and the customer is relieved about having to track their login and password information with a vendor whose database could be breached at some point.

Golf courses would be wise to send a comparable email.

Meridian is a private club for passionate golfers of all ages and abilities. The Club is owned by golfers, managed by golfers, and staffed by golfers.

How frequently do you think a golf course should update its website? I find it curious that the City and County of Denver home tee time page is still featured its Winter Policy Advisory Guidelines from April until August 1. Picture below of image just removed and the four clicks now required before you can see the available times. Do you think this site https://www.cityofdenvergolf.com/, hosted by Member Sports is user friendly? #ngf #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #ngcoa #denvergolf #cityofdenvergolf

David Edel, PGA, golf instructor in residence at t

David Edel, PGA, golf instructor in residence at the Troon managed Ridge at Castle Pines, started his career with Henry Griffiths Club Manufacturer before forming Edel Golf (edelgolf.com), which was/is famed for their irons, putters, and wedges is giving his most challenging student, my wife, a golf lesson.

Long way to go but her first lesson was a great success in which David made her feel very comfortable and welcoming to the world of golf.

HIs help on my game has been nothing short of miraculous. He solved a 20 year old chipping/pitching issue and has me hitting my irons higher than I thought possible where is a prerequisite for low scoring at the Ridge at Castle Pines.

Colorado Golf Association event at Cherry Creek.

Colorado Golf Association event at Cherry Creek. Beautiful clubhouse, lots of forced carries on this Nicklaus designed course. Was surprised cart paths on this club with 75000 initiation fees were dirt on many holes. The huge tree in the middle of 10 fairway and the overhanging tree approaching green on 15 I found curious. Massive unkept waste areas on 3 4 14 15 created a unique look in for Colorado course. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #asgca #ngcoa #ngf

Flying Horse North golf course overlooking the Air

Flying Horse North golf course overlooking the Air Force Academy on graduation day in a Colorado golf Association sponsored event. Treated to a very special day on the Phil Smith designed golf course while watching the US Thunderbirds perform at the Air Force Academy graduation in the midst of a thunderstorm with crackling lightning and soaring jet engines, it was hard toto tell them apart. If I was 30 years younger, I would join Flying Horse for the delight of playing the golf course in the Black Forest of Colorado. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #ngcoa #flyinghorsenorth #asgca #coloradogolfassociation #gcsaa
