Closing Keynote/Workshop

A Keynote Speaker & Collaborative Workshop all rolled into one session! Come listen to and participate in the most powerful session about the current labour issues in the golf industry!

Having trouble finding and keeping staff? Are you wondering how much it costs to buy a robot that rakes bunkers AND does dishes? Does your staff tell YOU when they will work and what they will do and for how much?

Let's face it...in today's golf industry (and literally the entire hospitality industry) the biggest challenge these days seems to be less about a full customer parking lot and more about an empty staff parking lot! 

In this collaborative session you will sit among your peers and brainstorm ideas for finding, training, motivating and rewarding your team so that in 2023 your club is the EMPLOYER OF CHOICE in your market!
