Ideas for a Implementation Program
In recent years, the time-honored traditions and etiquette of golf have fallen by the wayside. As a result, golf rounds are increasingly more time-consuming and damage to golf courses more severe. In order to help correct these trends, we at Medallion Golf Productions are proud to present The Essentials of Golf, a 50-minute instructional tool and educational program on the rules and procedures of golf. According to industry experts, by informing your members and staff of correct protocol, The Essentials of Golf program can save your club over $50,000 annually in course maintenance and repairs.
Endorsed by the National Golf Foundation (NGF), Golf Course Owners Association of America (GCOAA), and Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), The Essentials of Golf will inform your members of forgotten courtesies such as "Ready Golf," filling divots, the 90° Rule, and pace of play. Our goal is to educate your members' about the minimum expectations of conduct that come with the privilege of using your facility.
