Sometimes it&#8217;s a person&nbsp;or a couple that you know well enough&nbsp;to&nbsp;feel that&nbsp;you just&nbsp;can&#8217;t tolerate spending any significant amount of time with.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe it&#8217;s&nbsp;a person or a couple that&nbsp;you don&#8217;t really know, but know&nbsp;enough about to&nbsp;already&nbsp;feel like you&#8217;re going to have a miserable time.&nbsp;&nbsp;It may even be&nbsp;a person&nbsp;you&#8217;ve never&nbsp;met, but&nbsp;you just don&#8217;t want to deal with entertaining a new person.&nbsp; Do you know what I mean?&nbsp; I feel that way a lot, in both&nbsp;my personal and professional life.&nbsp; If I don&#8217;t want to go spend time with this person or people, then I&#8217;m not going.&nbsp; Unless there&#8217;s food.&nbsp;&nbsp;The idea and the chance that there may be good food&nbsp;can convince me to go almost anywhere and give almost anyone a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Now this doesn&#8217;t work only for me.&nbsp; This is also very common in my professional life, as well&nbsp;as many others who work for a living.&nbsp;&nbsp;My job occasionally requires me to go to a &#8220;networker&#8221; or that type of event.&nbsp; I&#8217;m not going to say I &#8220;hate&#8221; going to those things, but I will call it a strong dislike.&nbsp; My boss can&nbsp;tell me he needs me to go because he can&#8217;t make it.&nbsp; I&#8217;ll hem and haw a bit, but then he&#8217;ll tell me&#8230;&#8221;They always do a good job with the food there.&#8221;&nbsp; OK&#8230;I&#8217;ll go.&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Open&nbsp;bar&#8221; works just about as well.&nbsp; Whatever venue&nbsp;holds the event, or whichever organization hosts it, is happy to provide the food in the hopes that some of the attendees will be returning.&nbsp; Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if golf courses did the same?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I know there are plenty of tournaments where&nbsp;the&nbsp;post-round spread is a large part of the event.&nbsp; But I&#8217;m talking about&nbsp;more of a course &#8220;open house&#8221; if you will.&nbsp; Why not use this type of thing to get&nbsp;some people out to your course?&nbsp; Give the people&nbsp;an&nbsp;event.&nbsp; Not an event for the people who are already members.&nbsp;&nbsp;Put out an open invitation to non-members so you can&nbsp;attempt to make them members.&nbsp; And if not members, then at least a few daily fee players.<\/p>\n<p>Some years ago, I remember&nbsp;some of the reps of a nice local course coming into&nbsp;my office looking to&nbsp;sign my company up to a corporate membership.&nbsp; They were&nbsp;friendly, nice people and had some nice very colorful brochures with great pictures of their course and clubhouse.&nbsp; After they left, I mentioned to my boss that I had played the course and it was pretty nice.&nbsp; But my boss, as well as his boss, didn&#8217;t even give it a chance.&nbsp; But perhaps an invite to a free round would have helped.&nbsp; Maybe one of those non-member events could have helped as well.&nbsp; Well, in hindsight, anything would have helped&nbsp;since the course has now been out of business for&nbsp;roughly&nbsp;ten years and is now a nature preserve.<\/p>\n<p>So again, maybe another idea to help some course pump a little life into the stagnant state of golf.&nbsp; Throw a little party for some non-members.&nbsp; Maybe you can bring in those new members you&#8217;re going to need&nbsp;when the old crew decides to hang up their spikes.&nbsp; Maybe you can recruit a&nbsp;few new daily fee players who don&#8217;t necessarily have the money for a membership or don&#8217;t want to be tied to one course, but like your course enough to drop $50 on a round&nbsp;a couple times&nbsp;per season.&nbsp; Or maybe you can find&nbsp;a company who would like to rent&nbsp;your facilities for some of their corporate events or outings.&nbsp; Do you have&nbsp;banquet facilities?&nbsp;&nbsp;People hold wedding receptions at&nbsp;golf courses you know.&nbsp; The courses maybe just have to not be afraid to give away a round here and there or spend&nbsp;a little marketing money in a different way.&nbsp; After all, it takes dough to make bread.<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s funny&#8230;there are sometimes places I just don&#8217;t want to go and people I simply don&#8217;t want to go with.&nbsp;
