Fix the Experience, Not Just the Fairway

You can walk onto a golf course and just start swinging, but you’ll end up chasing balls, blaming the wind, and wondering why the group behind you is on your heels.

Most clubs don’t have a strategy problem; they have an alignment problem.

They know what kind of experience they want to offer but daily decisions, tee time changes, staff communication, and cart barn workflow don’t match that vision.

Real strategy shows up in the small things:

• A starter who greets members before they see him.
• An associate whose idea actually improves post round cart flow.
• A Supervisor who treats pace of play like the product.

This isn’t just logistics, it’s storytelling through operations.

If your team dreads the Saturday morning rush, members probably do too.

If your best team members feel invisible, so does your brand.

If you’re solving the same problem every week, the issue isn’t the team – it’s the system.

When your story and your ops align, that’s when the culture clicks, loyalty builds, and word spreads.

Build strategy in the routine and watch how the game changes on and off the course.
