SGU TO STAGE REGIONAL SEMINARS
IN EARLY MARCH

The Scottish Golf Union is staging a series of regional seminars in early March for golf club secretaries, managers and officials.
They are aimed at addressing key business issues facing clubs today.
The seminars will be split into two half-day sessions. The morning session will be presented by Niche Marketing’s Nick Hunter. He will take clubs through recent research findings on some of the challenges facing the golf market.
Mr Hunter will also offer advice on marketing and membership recruitment, attracting visitors and developing clubhouse services.
The afternoon presentation will introduce clubs to the SGU’s new website business tool – SGU Golf Central.
This will feature training on how to use the new system and outline how clubs can benefit from using this new technology. The presentation will include instruction on promoting memberships, open competitions and visitor golf.
