GCOW Spring Meeting
GCOW Spring Meeting Tuesday, February 18 at The Oaks GC
“Golf Simulators as a Revenue Generator”
Thank you to everyone that showed up on a bitter cold day at The Oaks in Cottage Grove for our Spring Meeting on February 18. Special thank you to owner Jessica Blaska-Grady and PGA Pro Shaun Finley for hosting us.
Special thanks to Premier Golf & Utility, our Club Car Corporate Member, for being a major sponsor for the day!
We first had Ben Reid, Business Development Manager from Carl’s Place in Middleton speak on all the different types of golf enclosures, screens, mates and accessories they provide for course owners. Thank you for also giving some estimated costs for different type of simulator set ups.
After a nice lunch a roundtable discussion was hosted by Shaun Finley from The Oaks and GCOW Board Member Jim Tracy, owner of Fairfield Hills GC in Baraboo. They led a discussion on their expectations and results from setting up golf simulators in their establishments and the challenges that they encountered along the way.
After the meeting concluded, guests were able to try out the simulators at The Oaks and have a little competition.
Thank you to all the owners and guests that attended and to all the staff at The Oaks for hosting this event for us.
