In the latest Golf 20/20 report I found that golf’s direct economic impact in Florida was $8.2 billion in 2013, an increase from $7.5 billion in 2007. How is this possible when golf participation is declining. In last…
Last turned out that Aviara Golf Club (Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, Calif.) has selected Troon Golf. Did you know that Aviara Golf Club was designed by Arnold Palmer? What I also like in this golf club…
For some golfers Quinta do Lago’s North course is a hotchpotch. This is a really a disadvantageous perception of a golf course that is situated in such a competitive golf marketplace as Algarve where there are 40+ golf courses…
In April this year Direct Golf launched their loyalty card program to foster repeated purcheses and to make golf more affordable. The loyalty program's mechanism is quite simple the more you buy, the more you points you get…
I think it is a unfortunate coincidence that both 2014 U.S. Open Championship, U.S. Women’s Open Championships (June 19-22) and the 2014 World Cup start on the very same day. Probably in the U.S. it is less problematic than…
This week I participated in an interesting conversation in LinkedIn with the founder of Hole19 mobile application Anthony Douglas (who in the past was my guest writer and wrote about similar topic). I had to realize that although…

Golf club membership retention and golf participation are two hot topics more than ever. When I was planning what to write in this post, some guesses went through my head. Is there a problem with the green fee…
IBM estimates that we create every day 2.5 quintillion bytes of data (90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone.). It is really hard to digest and understand how big…
One of the greatest events in 2012 was when smartphones and tablets took over PCs. The battle between mobile operation systems (Android vs iOS) or Samsung vs Apple is little bit less important. IHS iSuppli Research says that…
Unfortunately this year Goowood golf club fell out from the TOP100 list of Golf Monthly. However they have an interesting golf club membership pricing model. Two years ago I wrote that we should find out a new golf club membership pricing…
