As I have taken on more and more assignments and customers have told other interested clubs who have contacted them about what I have done for them, the tasks have become more numerous for me to solve.
When I started the business in 2014, my main goals were to make the course (the hole) more fun for more people and aesthetically beautiful. Today, the tasks from the client vary a bit more.
Most clubs need to save on expenses and increase revenue. Within that, there is a lot to do and I always deliver what the customer wants. How varies!
Other tasks I get from my clients include:
- Savings in working hours and diesel - simply more efficient care
- More varied holes
- More player-friendly for the exerciser but tougher challenge for the elite
There are many solutions to this and not many understand how. I know how to do it!
More Fun Course
For many years, many course builders have built “monster courses”. Most people play such a course ONCE. I want players to enjoy golf, enjoy the surroundings and the company. You should not be forced to play shots you can’t handle. For example, not many older players can handle a carry of 110 meters over a pond!
Alternative playing paths to the green are an important factor so that players do not quit golf prematurely. When it gets too difficult, it’s not fun for most people!
You will primarily get an elevated and clarified “Sense of place”. The feeling that the place gives!
I always identify a landscape idea where the golf course is located and reinforce it! Not many really understand this either. Especially not how. It requires a trained and experienced eye and I have that after walking on golf courses for over 50 years. Of course, combined with a genuine interest in aesthetics and design of golf holes.
The round time usually decreases. Holes with queue formation are usually eliminated and most people get a better total economy.
