No losers in this event

Written by Emil Colmenares | 05 October 2011

The Ladies’ Golf Association at Lake Monticello held its annual fund raiser in support of the Cancer Foundation. The weather cooperated beautifully after a prediction of storms and showers. Both the 18-hole Ladies and the 9-hole Ladies got their tournaments in before the weather set in. This event is held annually and has been supported and attended well throughout the years. There aren’t any losers in this event. The Ladies did a fine job of organization and had some of the men in the community to participate.

Enthusiasm is high for use of the Family tee program. It offers a package that makes learning the game and can monitor your progress. This program is not for kids only but also their parents who wish to learn the game. Both can feel comfortable with choosing a tee that offers the best opportunity to develop your game to the next level. All interested new golfers are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity and see the progress that is made. Adults will soon see how soon they can move up to the regular tees and still enjoy weekend time of play with their children. Remember you can continue your progress when the weather is bad by making use of the indoor facility at the marina. Have fun and you will be ready to enjoy all that the game offers come spring.

This week I am exercising my professional background as management and marketing consultant. Membership fees and the cost of playing golf along with golf course conditions are very much in the news. In regards to marketing, you have to look at your area conditions and fees and you have to become competitive within your market area. Unfortunately as far as the golf market is concerned the recession has made this a national problem with many courses facing financial problems.

Future golfers of America are learning fast through the use of SNAG golf. This program is designed to make the approach to golf easier for the five to seven year old beginners, The equipment that is used is light and made of plastic with a built in learning pattern that makes the transition to real golf clubs extremely easy. The use of SNAG programs is endorsed and promoted by the PGA as well as the USGA. It makes the learning process fun and the youngsters fine that learning the swing is far easier than using real clubs because of the weight factor.
