Golf Operations Business Management by James Graham Prusa Pdf

"This book series should help anyone with talent who is honest, hardworking, and sincere to more readily, not necessarily easier, actually achieve great golf course playing conditions and profitable golf course business operations. The topics I’ve chosen to illustrate in this book are a real-world litany of the most common failures and real successes that I have confronted firsthand over decades of my actual business experience. Through many years I have turned to my writing for shear survival - for myself, colleagues, and employers. I have used the written word as a substantial tool in order to teach and convince others about how to stop failing and to inspire achieving success on golf courses. I’ve drawn every topic from actual business occurrences that have been observed or managed over my career of turning around failures into achievements and successful golf course businesses. Successfully learning to control costs and increase profits in food and beverage will also prepare you to directly manage control of the subtle facets of fertilizer costs for the golf course – and vice versa. The demanding maintenance methods and practices used for high-performance military aircraft are exactly transferable for successful golf course management. There exists considerable crossover in both the sciences and arts that must be applied to golf course business management, including physics and chemistry, as well as the arts and concepts of design. One can learn and apply management information from scuba diving and corporate management to food & beverage, and to golf course management. There are fundamental reasons that golf and turfgrass management employ generally archaic technology – changing from the archaic will provides better service and profits. There are logical reasons why perpetual, continuing education, and staff training will then require much less management oversight. Going forward, golf will only its full prosperity if the archaic, traditional compartmentalization of redundant management job positions can be tossed aside to allow individuals with multiple skill sets to be unloosed allowing businesses to profit. Today golf courses in every geographic region of the world absolutely need to employee fewer staff as developed nations depopulate and labor scarcity increases. Managers must also be individuals - simultaneously capable of wearing many professional hats with high proficiency."--Amazon description.

Applying Yield Management to the Golf-Course Industry by Beate Pehlchen Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Tourism, grade: alle ECTS-Punkte erreicht, Stralsund University of Applied Sciences (-), course: Yield Management, 15 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Yield management consists of two strategic levers: duration control and demand-based pricing . Golf courses have been willing to try managing duration but have been reluctant to apply demand-based pricing because of fears of possible customer dissatisfaction. While golf courses do us demand-based pricing when offering higher prices on weekends and promotions such as twilight specials and league play, they have been loathe to vary price by time of day, time of booking or condition of play. Golf courses operators may well have support for their fears in the fairness literature. Researches have found that customers will refuse to patronize companies perceived as unfair. If demand-based pricing in courses is viewed as unfair by golfers, the golf course may suffer a loss of business.

Deals on the Green by David Rynecki Pdf

No matter how sophisticated the tools become-the e-mails and teleconferencing, the BlackBerries and PowerPoints-golf remains the true communications hub of American business In the history of American business there have been more deals consummated on the golf course than in any boardroom or five-star restaurant. It's no accident that executives from J. D. Rockefeller to Jack Welch have made time in their busy schedules for eighteen holes. Deals on the Green takes a fresh look at the interesting worlds of golf and business. It's not a "how to win business" instructional, but it does offer lessons about what is required to succeed in golf and in business-namely friendship, imagination, tenacity, multitasking, guts, passion, and compassion. And it shares great inside stories about the leaders whose devotion to and respect for the game have contributed to their success in business. Financial journalist David Rynecki takes us inside the gates of elite courses such as Augusta National and Pebble Beach to reveal how the wealthy and powerful really behave-or misbehave. He lets us in on the keys to mixing business and pleasure, the best way to swing a nine iron in front of your boss, and even what to do if you happen to slice it.
