New England Golf Summit

The New England Golf Summit was a big success on March 31. Andover CC was a great venue and we had more than 240 attendees for this one-day educational seminar. It was put on by all the regional allied golf organizations with guest speakers ranging from Leigh Bader (Pine Oaks GG and 3balls.com) to Sue Wegrzyn (CEO, National Club Association). One of the most popular speakers of the day was Henry DeLozier, a principal at Global Golf Advisors. Henry talked about all the current trends and forecasted a solid picture for golf provided clubs, courses and associations pay attention to the customer.

Check out all the presenters PowerPoint presentations and related info on the Summit's official web site - www.negolfsummit.org. We've gotten much positive feedback, so it's likely that there will be another Golf Summit in 2011.

After these devastating rains and flooding we're all ready for some nice weather. many courses are walking only right now, but I think we all just want a chance to get out on the course. I think I'll be breaking the ice the weekend myself and making a few swings.

And when Sunday rolls around, all of a sudden it will be Masters week. With Tiger in the field, all the extra hoopla will make things interesting. But Tiger or no Tiger, the Masters is the Masters and I can't wait.
