GMs are in their “Oh Crap” Season
As the running joke goes across various regions of the United States, there's not just four seasons in a year - there are 10, 11, even 12, apparently. But this time of year, especially for northern-based GMs thawing out and reopening their courses, is when they grip the "Oh Shit Handle". The course is in moderate shape at best, the staff has turned over since Christmas, and the Patrons couldn't care less about your rust and cobwebs. It's the best of times and the worst of times for outdoor golf venues.
While I may not be a GM, I could almost recite verbatim anyone I happen to get on the phone over the past few weeks, assuming I can even reach them. For a while there I thought it was me being a poor sales person even though I’ve been doing it for 30 years. This time of year reminds me that our poor General Managers and Directors of Golf seem to be addicted to chaos and stress, because year after year, the same challenges arise. Albert Einstein must be rolling over in his grave.
We're here to help STOP THE INSANITY! To help get your house in order from a reporting and data perspective, and to automate decisions that are still being made manually and in real-time.
Meanwhile, for those of you in the southern half of the US where the six months of summer are about to kick off, let's talk - this is your time to prepare so you can avoid the chaos that comes with fall in the rest of the US.
I genuinely feel your stress, GMs. How do I know this? Well, I shot my worst score in 5 years last week. So, please, for the love of Pete and Albert Einstein, let me sleep better at night knowing you sleep better at night. Assuming you want to.
See you on the tee box!
