Business Success

 

A golf facilities solvency is based on maximum utilization of facilities, and a well-trained PGA of Canada professional can act as a catalyst for drawing more people to your facility. All of a professional’s efforts in coordinating golf activities lead to more play, and therefore, more revenue for a golf operation – helping to improve its bottom line.

 

Having a golf professional in your shop ensures your facility will be fully stocked with the most up to date merchandise available. As most golfers visit the golf shop before teeing off, an attractive, well-managed pro-shop will go a long way in contributing to the overall appeal of any golf facility.

 

A major focus of most golf operations is the practice facility and junior golf. Because of this orientation, helping people with their game is paramount to anything a golf professional does. Unqualified instructors can lead to poor play, resulting in frustration and a lack of enthusiasm for the game. But qualified professional instruction will increase a player’s enjoyment of golf and encourage greater use of the golf facility.

 

Properly run tournaments not only attract new business, but also promote greater awareness of the facility in the community. Greater use of amenities can mean higher revenues to a club or course in green fees, power cart rentals, dining room patronage, corporate golf outings and even membership sales.

 

Because of their extensive golf knowledge and business experience, PGA of Canada members are the most qualified executives for handling managerial responsibility at a golf facility. The golf professional is unquestionably the best promoter at a golf facility.
