Successful Committee Meetings

Committee meetings and keeping everyone on task is an important part of a successful golf event.  You want to make sure that the meetings are productive and not a waste of anyon'es time.
Here are some tips:

1.  Schedule the meetings for the same day & time each month.

2.  Send out email reminders with date, time and location of the next upcoming meeting and ask for an RSVP so that you know who is attending the meeting and if you need information from those not attending to have available at the upcoming meeting.

3.  Have an agenda and point to each meeting - not just  a social gathering (which is good too but not for planning purposes).

4.  Hand out the agenda at each meeting.

5.  Assign each committee member a specific job and/or responsibility.

6.  Set goals and deadlines for each job/responsibility.

7.  Make sure each member is committed.

How to Get 144 Golfers in Your Next Golf Event

How To Get 144 Golfers In Your Next Golf Event.

One of the  most common questions that I get is how can I fill up the course.  The simple question is to use the 9-4-4 rule.

The 9-4-4 rule works on the idea that you have 9 people on the committee who each find (4) foursomes.  9x4x4 = 144 golfers.  By breaking up the responsibility in this way you have now reduced everyone's work load and have greatly narrowed each committee member's focus.  Thus it makes a large task much less daunting.
