2023 - What Does the Next Year Look Life for the G

2023 - What Does the Next Year Look Life for the Golf Industry. Call us to learn the latest trends from which your golf course can profit.

Opening of training camp for the NHL Colorado Aval

Opening of training camp for the NHL Colorado Avalanche starts with media day at The Ridge At Castle Pines. Nate McKinnon and the press conference for the signing of his $100 million contract was delayed 55 minutes from the scheduled 3 pm signing waiting for team owner, Josh Kroenke to finish his round of golf on a course notorious for its slow play. Perhaps if the pins were not set from the back of the green, as illustrated herein on the sixth hole, Mr. Kroenke may have been on time. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #usga #ascga #ngcoa #ngf #gcsaa

Theatre of the Mind by David Bryne of Talking Head

Theatre of the Mind by David Bryne of Talking Heads and American Utopia fame opened in Denver over the weekend. Attended one of the premier performances and last night a one hour conversation with David and Thalia Wheatley Phd from Dartmouth University regarding a discussion on neurosciences. Simply amazing how friendships are formed by comparable brain genetics and the vast idiosyncrasies of humans. The fully immersive play in which you walk through seven rooms where various scientific exhibits are displayed to trick your mind creates wonderment and a long conversation afterwards. In the introduction you select a new name, mine was Niko San, and given a scripted line to interact with the single actor who leads you through seven minutes of total darkness to spinning balls in a disco to an attic with three dimensional glasses has you seeing a contorted reality. Great theatre - maybe not. Worth doing for the intellectual exercise - perhaps yes. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #theatreofthemind #dcpa #denvercenterfortheperformingarts

Winner has come today to Colorado. The high is 47° with rain. The Seltzerland Festival was a success for the golf course who made $20,000 by closing holes and for the patrons notwithstanding the cold temperatures. Every golf course should host a Seltzerland event. The White Claw and Buzz Bomb Fanny packets were the highlight of the “swag.” The best drink was the Buzz Bombs coffee seltzers with the Simply Lemonade seltzers second. The Vaquit white peach ginger seltzer was also delicious. #seltzerland #seltzers #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #ngcoa #ngf

Ask no questions, will tell you no lies. For the past 12 years, on Labor Day weekend we have hosted a crab and lobster boil to mourn the end of summer. This year, 22 family and friends participated in boiling four pots. Alaskan King crab legs are far preferred over lobster. One of the highlights of the weekend was my daughter flew in from San Francisco before traveling to New York City yesterday for business. #jjkeegangolf #jjkeegan

It is parents weekend at the Air Force Academy. The 36 hole Eisenhower Golf Course is at capacity, as it has been most of the summer. Perhaps no course is more affected by its terrain as the mountains play a large role on the greens. If you are putting away from the Rocky Mountains,
the greens are perilously fast and putting parallel to the mountains creates huge breaks not distinguishable to even the trained eye. The course is hosting the USGA juniors tournament next summer. #jjkeegan #jjkkeegangolf #usga #ngcoa #ngf #asgca #gcsaa

The pace of play yesterday at Troon Golf managed R

The pace of play yesterday at Troon Golf managed Ridge At Castle Pines was five hours and thirty minutes. I have yet to play this year in less than five hours and 15 minutes even with tee times as early as 8:00 am. The pictures are not reflecting a shotgun start but a back in play on the 6th and 10 tees. Management is placing the responsibility for the slow play on golfers in the 20s and 30s who are not schooled in the traditions of the game, are not accomplished golfers and who view golf as an outdoor recreational opportunity to drink with their friends. While everyone in the golf industry is thrilled about the surge in rounds, up 13 percent since 1999, the question becomes how we make everyone cognizant that a four hour round is standard for which everyone should adhere to? Do you think Troon Golf is at fault for not being more aggressive in communicating that standard and removing players from the course who do not comply? #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #troongolf #ridgeatcastlepines #ridgeatcastlepinesnorth #usga #asgca #ngf #ngcoa

Am extending a recommendation that will hopefully

Am extending a recommendation that will hopefully save you time and money. If you have the opportunity to see Kashmir, a Led Zeppelin, faux band - pass. They played in concert with the Denver Pops orchestra who were the only redeeming value to the show. With bad vocals and infomercials after nearly every song, we left early. Concert did not start to 830. Castle Rock changed entrance requirements for food and water at last minute. Security allowed privileged and entitled concert goers to arrive five minutes before show and seat right in front of stage. This year’s concert series was weaker in comparison to prior years. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #phillipsmillerpark #denverpopsorchestra #castlerockparks

Though this posting is 24 hours late. I attended the Marine Corps Barracks Friday Night Parade for foreign dignitaries in Washington, DC courtesy of First Lieutenant David Jones. The synchronization of 162 Marines with M1 rifles marching, with the drum and bugle corp had to be seen to be appreciated. The cadence of the rifles hitting the ground and twirled, flipped and flown have above within inches of another Marine’s head is impressive. I like our chances based on the defense these marines provide us. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #ngcoa #marines #usmarines

No words or pictures can express my overwhelming r

No words or pictures can express my overwhelming respect I have for the students at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. The physical rigor, the discipline, the academics are simple inspiring. As I took the two hour tour and then walked the perimeter of the campus along the sea wall, I was haunted by the question could I have done it if I was 18. The answer recognizing that I served four years in the Air Force was a disappointing no. The students are vastly superior to what I may have been able to achieve. The Naval Academy Museum that tracts every conflict since 1812 to the astronauts should be in everyone’s bingo card of life. It presents a perspective on history that is daunting. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #ngcoa #usnavy #usnavalacademy

Played the new North Course at Flying Horse Club overlooking the Air Force Academy. If I was 45 I would this 36 hole facility. Was a delight to play this course with 10 million dollar homes adjoining the 3 mile drive ln Old Sawdust Trail. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #asgca #usga #ngcoa #asgca #clubatflyinghorse

A weekend is San Francisco - from a Friday night concert with food trucks at Fort Mason, to Golden Gate that includes Kezer Stadium home to the San Francisco 49ers from 1947 to 1970 )hard to believe the NFL every played there and amazing ow the sport has grown in 52 years) to the five star Michelin Cotogna (the foccia del reco is a must) to Sunday brunch on the bay at the Greenery makes for an awesome weekend with one’s daughter. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #cotogna #kezerstadium #deyoungmuseum

Spent part of the weekend at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate viewing the Francis Ringgold exhibition curated by my daughter and also the Obama portraits take by Kehinda Wiley. Highly recommend the exhibitions if visiting San Francisco. I would comment that the tourists are back in full flock. The Westin St. Francis was at capacity. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf

Great customer service is too often not celebrated

Great customer service is too often not celebrated. My flight from Denver to San Francisco was delayed over 4 hours - first because of a plane taken out of service and then because a computer failure of the passenger manifest. There was a discrepancy between the passenger count and the number on board. We were on the runway to take off and had to return to the gate, deplane and every passenger has to scan their ticket again. After 3 million miles on United, this was a first. Upon arriving got an email from United with a future flight credit. Was fascinating to see where the plane had flown in 24 hours chasing the sun. Really impressed United was on top of the issue. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #unitedairlines #usga #pga #ngcoa #asgca #ngf #gcsaa

Visited the Top Tracer installation at the Club of Ravenna with Director of Golf Operations George Kahrhoff and Jeff Boyer, General Manager at Eagle Ranch. Jeff is planning to install Top Tracer in 2023. There are 245 installations globally. The installation investment was $25,000 and the annual license was $15,000. Each member was charged $50. The member reaction has been ecstatic. Fun to use and great for flighting your entire bag. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #usga #ngcoa #asgca #ngf #gcsaa

Summer in Colorado - a warm summer night - not. Douglas County Rodeo started this weekend but shepherding the cattle from Rock Park to the fairgrounds. Had dinner at Sienna while attacking the parade. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #douglascountycolorado

The current trend leveraging the popularity of gol

The current trend leveraging the popularity of golf during the Pandemic is creating “Golf Entertainment Centers” beer gardens, entertainment pavilions for bands, food trucks featuring pizzas and Top Tracer installed in the range. To wit, the Highland Creek golf course has been renamed the Highland Creek Golf Course and Beer Garden featuring a pavilion that overlooks the lake for bands. At the Divide Golf Course, they are installing Top Tracer. #jjkeegan #jjkeegangolf #asgca #usga #ngcoa #usga #dividegolfcourse #highlandcreekgolfclub
