The Winning Golf Culture” manual has been well received as have the service seminars that I have been conducting with the staffs at the clubs I work with. If you believe that people do business with people they like you will enjoy this read and for the price of a knit shirt possibly increase your business and enhance the reputation of your facility. Below is some of the typical feedback.


"Your manual is spot on!!!!! As I pursue my re entry into the golf professional ranks, your manual will become a topic at every staff meeting.Anticipating other's needs is so important and your manual expresses that mind set in several ways! Keep reminding us, Please!"

"I just finished reading The Winning Golf Culture handbook. The manual is very well written and inspiring. Many of the stories and ideas that Craig shares are simple and thought provoking, yet sometimes ignored at many clubs. Our members will definitely benefit from applying the simple tools explained in the manual. I have already given the handbook to my new Assistants and Outside Services Director to read. With a new staff this season, now is the perfect time to create a new 'CULTURE' at our club. This is a must read for any club that is serious about taking service to the next level."

The Winning Golf Culture' is a thought provoking road map for any professional looking to take their operation to the next level. No matter if you are just beginning your career or are a veteran, you are sure to have a notepad filled with ideas and new challenges for yourself and your staff.”

In the coming months I want to discuss "private label" and the benefits of building your own brand. I'm excited about previewing "Epic fabrication and the new rain-wear. Some of the other articles planned are a detailed primer on the importance of “count and fill” categories in the shop and a report on Antas Apparel and servicing members/regulars with an alternative way to buy incredible slacks.
