The Midlands Golf Course Owners Association is refocused and organized with plans for a stronger and more collaborative membership promoting our local golf community. I would like to thank the current member courses tht have faithfully supported the association in the past. I look forward to working with you and implimenting the many new ideas we have for the year ahead.
Our Board for the upcoming ear consists of: Rock Lucas – President; Lee Duncan – Vice President; Dian Berry – Secretary; Ken McCarthy – Treasurer; and Jeff Schaffer – Member at Large. The board has a new outlook with a fresh approach and commitment to making the MGCOA a m eaningful group of professionals.
Three of the current initiatives we are focused on are our new website, the Midlands Golf Passport and Tour & Travel packages. The website, in addition to being a tremendous marketing tool, will benefit us in many ways. An exclusive member's area will contain sections for group purchasing, property tax relief and a forum/discussion feature. The website will also serve as a tool to drive the sales of our 2010 Midlands Golf Passport book. We appreciate your participating in this year's addition, as it is our primary source of income for the association. Your commitment to exclusively participate in the book increases its value and potential sales.
Several new ideas are being discussed to increase the sales of package play at our midlands courses. More details on these and other initiatives will be presented to you in the upcoming weeks.
