How To Win In A Recession…
Recessions come and go. Will you?
How do you keep your calm and win?
Cut your expenses? After 7 years of shrinking participation and increased competition, golf budgets are already tight. I doubt there’s much fat left to cut.
Be a Contrarian
It’s counterintuitive, but why not grow revenues? Or at least offset revenue loss with new revenues. Build for the future, and come out of the recession stronger. You have two choices:
Choice 1: Cut everything. Your service decreases, course conditions decline, and rates go down to match the quality. In the short term the rate change attracts more people, in the long term you’ve devalued your product, and you’re not coming back from that.
Choice 2: Take calculated risks. Keep your service, course conditions, and quality intact. Retain and attract better customers and employees now and in the future.
Below are several winning strategies to grow your revenues. Some will require zero capital and just a little sweat equity, while others a small investment. If executed correctly, all of them will net you more money. Contact us to learn more.

There are opportunities to be had. Your competition isn’t taking advantage of them because they’re cutting back. People are still playing golf, hosting outings, becoming members, eating out, having weddings…it’s not like the world has stopped turning. People may be traveling less, spending a little less, but on the whole are doing everything they used to do.
Figure out what opportunities you’re not taking advantage of. Figure out how much risk you’re willing to take. Then go for it.
