Augusta National is far more than a golf club, and it's far more than the site for one of the world's leading sporting events. Indeed, it is a one-of-its-kind organization that exemplifies excellence across a multitude of disciplines.  As I departed from Augusta over the weekend, I reflected on this special place that Jim Nanz aptly described on television as "a tradition unlike any other." (Augusta subsequently trademarked this phrase). Below are three observations that struck me as fundamental to Augusta's remarkable success. ✅  Attention to detail. At Augusta, every detail is attended to. From the perfect fairways, where not a single blade of grass appears out of place, to the spotless stands and the staff's service, nothing is overlooked. ✅  A vision unlike any other. Augusta was born in 1932 out of the dauntless vision of Bobby Jones (then an iconic US golfer) and British golf course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie to be a leading national golf course that would host world-class competitions. The club's commitment to being the best is reflected in everything you see—from television coverage to positioning attendees as "patrons" rather than spectators to the club's blue-chip membership. ✅  Long-term decision-making. Augusta does not play for short-term wins. It is invested in long-term value creation and a fundamentally different product than other tournaments. It executes for the long term with unwavering commitment. The famous 330-yard Magnolia Lane that extends from the entrance gate to the clubhouse was paved in 1947, yet the large magnolia trees that line both sides of the road date to the late 1850s. Anchored in tradition but embracing change with cutting-edge technology and analysis—that, to me, is what makes Augusta great. If you have not visited the Masters, I would encourage you to do so—even if it is only to study the remarkable Augusta National institution. #AugustaNational #Golf #Excellence #MagnoliaLane #Tradition

🚨 Breaking News: LIV Golf announces a strategic partnership with AEG Presents, setting a new standard for sports and entertainment collaborations.

Our friends at Golf.com put out their 2024-2025 list of "America’s best golf you can play." This is a list built of courses accessible to the everyman. The Dunes, again, finished inside the top-100, finishing at #28. As a semi-private destination, this statement by Ran Morrissett fits our perspective perfectly: "Some of these courses...are, in fact, private, but they allow outside play under certain conditions. At GOLF, we love this model. After all, it has served U.K. clubs for more than a century. For those lucky enough to belong to clubs like these, the revenue from outside play helps keep membership costs in check. Most important, these open policies allow course lovers to sample more of the game’s sublime works of art. We all win when the lines of private and public are blurred and the expense of the sport comes down." We're proud to be considered among the best in America. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gcDsyqif

🚀 How the LIV Golf Tour is Positively Shaking Up Golf in the USA 🚀 As a huge fan of disruptor initiatives, I believe that challenges to established institutions like the PGA TOUR are long overdue. The LIV Golf Tour has been a bold, exciting shake-up — and it's already bringing tangible benefits to the golf landscape in the USA. Here’s a look at the positive effects of the LIV Tour on golf courses and the sport at large: 1️⃣ Increased Attendance and Revenue; The LIV Tour has introduced new energy and has drawn larger crowds to courses across the U.S. This fresh level of excitement, with more fans attending events, has boosted revenue through ticket sales, merchandise, and local business. According to recent reports, attendance figures have surpassed expectations, directly benefiting host courses and surrounding communities. 2️⃣ Higher Participation Rates; LIV’s different format, focus on team play, and shorter tournament structure have piqued the interest of younger and newer fans, who may have previously felt golf was inaccessible. This shift has sparked curiosity and led to more people taking up the game, exploring local courses, and participating in the sport. 3️⃣ Financial Investments in Course Infrastructure; LIV’s tournaments have funnelled substantial resources into course renovations and event setup, leaving a positive legacy at host venues. Improved facilities, enhanced amenities, and upgraded technology help keep these courses at peak performance, benefiting members and visitors long after the tournaments have wrapped up. The LIV Tour has shown that shaking up the status quo can breathe new life into a sport — and I, for one, am thrilled to see where it leads. 💬 What are your thoughts on LIV’s impact? Do you see similar benefits, or are there other challenges they should address? 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Golf carts are increasingly used in the golf courses, resorts and hotel industries to promote market growth. In the United States, the construction of new golf courses and the expansion of existing championship courses are growing vigourously. This has led to a growing demand for golf carts. As golf continues to attract enthusiasts and players of all ages, the demand for efficient transportation on golf courses has also increased. In addition, golf carts provide golfers with a convenient and environmentally friendly means of transportation, allowing them to move quickly between holes. This development will promote the growth of the low-speed automobile market in the United States. Therefore, the application of these vehicles in golf courses, closed community resorts, university campuses, large industrial zones, I centres, amusement parks and historical monuments is promoting the adoption of vehicles in the United States.

Are you thinking of a great way to experience a taste of Colorado and have some fun with your colleagues? This inaugural Disc Golf Tournament at the Village Greens Disc Golf Course is a fun way to mix it up with other members of the assessment community in a low-cost format of $20 per person (discounts available). Have you played disc golf before? ANYONE can play/register, you do not have to be an IAAO member or even an IAAO conference attendee. Significant others, plus 1's, in-laws & outlaws are all welcome. Your registration will include two disc golf discs with a custom design (to be exclusively used in the tournament), commemorating the #IAAO2024 Annual Conference in Colorado, as well as a catered BBQ lunch at the course (potential vegan options). Prizes will be awarded to the first, second, and third place teams, with a special prize for anyone who gets an ace (hole in 1) and closest to the pin (closest to the basket). A special thanks to our sponsor: Data Cloud Solutions, a Woolpert Company!!! We couldn't do it without their support. RULES: The rules are simple, you play similar to golf, in which you throw your disc toward a basket and you want to try and get your disc in the basket in the least amount of throws. If the par for the hole is 3 and your team gets it in the basket in 2 throws, you write a -1 on your scorecard or app. The tournament format will be four-player teams (randomly drawn so there isn't a stacked team of expert disc golfers), where you each throw your disc and you get to throw your next shot from the best disc. ***If you have signed up for the WIN Luncheon, you will receive a $5 discount to your registration. Early bird registration by July 15th will receive a $5 discount (does not stack with WIN Luncheon discount). Transportation is not included in registration. Uber/Lyft ride-sharing from the convention with other players is the least expensive transportation option.*** Register at https://lnkd.in/gkACvb3m
