Spring Seminar a Success<br />
Forty <strong>South</strong> <strong>Florida</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Professionals attended the awesome<br />
Spring Education Seminar held Thursday, June 10th at<br />
The Vineyards Country Club. The seminar featured Oncor<br />
Solutions, a marketing solutions company, and a panel of <strong>PGA</strong><br />
Professionals discussing the employment issues facing the golf<br />
industry today.<br />
Oncor Solutions shocked the audience with how simple it can<br />
be to find customers/members, engage them all while tracking<br />
your ROI on monies spent. They used real examples of<br />
golf courses in the section that they have already worked with<br />
to prove that the methods they teach really work! They also<br />
proved that you could do get 1000% return on marketing dollars<br />
without having to spend massive amounts of money in order<br />
to generate business. Free information on resources that<br />
could bring in new customers right away was<br />
Oncor Solutions was present to help kick off their FREE webinar<br />
series beginning July 19th. This series will feature information<br />
on how to re-think your marketing tactics, how to use<br />
what they call the ‘new social media’, all while keeping your<br />
budgets in check, and drive in customers. This webinar series<br />
will show simple solutions, and ways of tracking the ROI of<br />
your marketing. More information regarding the webinar series<br />
will be available soon.<br />
Immediately following Oncor’s presentation a panel discussion<br />
was conducted, featuring a diverse group of <strong>PGA</strong> Professional<br />
from all different aspects of the golf industry, including<br />
private and public facilities, hospitality corporations and the<br />
<strong>PGA</strong> of America. The panel consisted of SF<strong>PGA</strong> Professionals<br />
Tom Wildenhaus, Rich Lamb and Doug Reed, along <strong>PGA</strong><br />
Career Consultant Phil Berry. All were asked questions regarding<br />
the current employment situation and how they have remained<br />
successful at their facilities for an extended period of<br />
time. The biggest piece of advice that they offered was to show<br />
your passion for golf, make yourself visible at all times, and be<br />
hungry to take on multiple job roles.<br />
Again, the information shared during the seminar was tremendous.<br />
Thank you to all those who attended and our speakers<br />
for their time.<br />
