90 Short Days Away

Now is the time of year to regroup, refresh and reevaluate your business. 90 days from our Annual Conference will be the first of March, with new energy and a fresh start to the 2009 golf season. Take time this off season to make sure you are achieving your goals and reaching your potential. There is no better way to start that process than at this year's conference at Somerset Inn in Troy.

Go Green (and Lean)
With fertilizer, oil and energy prices soaring, look at all of the options we have as stewards of our precious open space businesses. Strategic mowing to burning used oil from your equipment and cart fleet in your maintenance facility are becoming just a couple of options to reduce our dependency the these expensive resources. Going green at your course is the new gold, with dozens of opportunities to reduce wear and tear on equipment, reduce labor costs and help our environment.

Internet Marketing and technology
Explore the internet options and communication tools that the younger generations are using. My Space, LinkedIn and Facebook are all business and relationship marketing opportunities. U may nt lke th nu wa r socity is changing, but u need to b on top of ur game if u wnt to succeed.

Golf League Championship
If you haven't been to www.migolfleague.com in a while, take some time and explore this viable option for new or existing leagues. Tracking your valuable leagues members with a one on one communication tool is an excellent way to increase your incidental business and reward this loyal group. We are entering our fifth season and this program continues to get better each year.

Well, there're three of the opportunities at the Conference.

Let me know how you're doing. I would love to share some of your success stories. Feel free to e-mail me at bfountain@majesticgolf.com. LOL

Have a great day and enjoy this gift of time to relax, retool and have a laugh or two.

Sincerely,
Bill
