Where are my golfers? I’m excited for this event…you know I specialise in leadership training but did you know there are SO many similarities between golf and being a leader? Playing golf has taught me so much about leadership! 🏌️♂️ Just like in golf, being a great leader means staying focused, being patient, and thinking strategically. Here are a few lessons golf has reinforced: 1. **Preparation is Key**: Just as I practice my swing, leaders must prepare for meetings and projects. 2. **Adaptability**: Weather changes on the course, and business conditions change too. Adapt and keep moving forward. 3. **Patience and Resilience**: Not every shot lands where you want it. Learn from mistakes and stay resilient. Both golf and leadership are continuous journeys of improvement. Let's keep refining our skills and striving for excellence! See you in June at the Whitby Chamber of Commerce golf event at Royal Ashburn Golf Club #Leadership #Golf #ContinuousLearning #Resilience #leadershiptraining #teetime #supportlocal #chamberofcommerce #businessowner #whitby

💭 Tip Tuesday with Head Golf Professional, Bill Chapman at River Hall Country Club located in Alva, FL. 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙙 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙩 Did you know that over 95% of recreational golfers never get their approach shots to the green. This is in part caused by overestimating their distances and, therefore, not taking near enough club. I see this all the time. 🔸𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢𝘯��𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯: They don’t hit the ball solidly with consistency. Tops and thins are a common miss. A drill I use with my students who struggle with this is to place a tee low in the ground about one inch in front of the ball. 🔸𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦: Hit both the ball and the tee. This will bring down your angle of attack, which will ensure ball-first contact with a descending blow. 🔸𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥? A crisp downward strike that generates Tour-level compression. #hamptongolf #golf #golfmanagement #golftips #teammembers #pga

The hardest thing I find when trying to explain what ORBIS GOLF does is to keep the answer short! So when Michael Williams asked me for the one feature that sets us apart for golf operators and golf coaches, I had to really try hard to keep the answer succinct. All things considered, I'm quite happy I kept the answer under 2 minutes! #golfcoaching #golfcourseoperators #golfbusiness #golfmanagemet

Unique…. By definition in Websters dictionary is defined as; Adjective… Being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else. "this discovery was unique in history" Sweetens Cove Golf Club is called unique all the time but its not, what it is is a golf “ANOMALY”. Sweetens Cove Golf Club push’s the need in golf. Taking what was the normality in golf “tee times” and in 2020 introduced “passes”, limiting the number of people allowed to play daily giving them all passes (passes equal people) for the day. Specifically 60 passes Tuesdays-Thursday’s in season (Mondays out of season) and only 45 passes Fridays-Sundays. This has created an incredible and amazing experience to let golfers play as much as they want with the people they brought, 4somes, 6somes, 8somes whatever just come play golf with the people you brought. No dress code, no clubhouse, no frills, just golf with friends. It’s a club for everyone. A true for the people course. 2021 we released passes for the entirety of the year selling out everyday every pass in 14.5 minutes, this year the same but in 2.5 minutes… Not to bad for a little nine hole golf course in the middle of nowhere TN. 2024 is around the corner and we will be releasing our passes sometime between October 31st and November 5th. If you haven’t been you should. #thisaintnocountryclub #iykyk #yalljustgotnineholes #alldayplay #golfsbetterinbunches #kingcollinsgolf #shedsarebetterthenclubhouses #disruption
