As the new year begins the reports start rolling in on how 2011 shaped up for the Golf Economy. In a recent article posted on USA Today web site titled, As golf declines, life on links ain’t what it used to be, there was reference to a report from the National Golf Foundation reporting a 13% decrease in the number of golfers in the US. Though this reported number of golfers in the US could be, and probably is, worse it does state a fact that any recover for the golf economy will be very tough to develop.
There are a number of other factors involved with the sagging golf economy. A few of them being:
Once changes are made in these areas Golf then may have a chance to return to its luster years. I am sure you have solutions to offer. Would enjoy hearing what you have to offer.

If your play Golf then it is not new for you to hear how many Rock musicians play golf. What maybe new to you is to know how many Pro Golfers listen to Rock music. The most surprising News to many is learning how many business golfers are rabid Rock music fans. But then that was not a real surprised to me since I am one of them.
For almost ten years I have noticed more and more golfers warming up on the driving range wearing ear buds connected to a music player device. For the longest I thought they were spending their time listening to the latest training tip from one of the millions of golf pros who provide audio lessons.
It was amazing while doing interviews at the Byron Nelson Classic a few years ago to find out that most of the guys wearing the ear buds were listening to Rock Music Tracks as a part of their warm up routine. I won’t mention names since the guys I saw using the devices were not interested in the impression their interest in Rock music my have on their fans and what influence it might have on the juniors who follow their ever move. Lets just say..a few of the guys listening to Rock were commonly know to the crowds as ‘You Da Man’.
I have always thought music played a huge part in all athletic events. Even back in the days of the Romans..drums pounding a heavy beat were part of the gladiator’s games. That deep bottom base tone hits some nerve in humans that produces the feel good feelings people enjoy.
That ‘feel good’ feeling has carried on into today’s heavy base driven Rock Music. Rock music has made changes over the past 60 years and more and more quality musicians have entered the Rock scene bring with them a clearer and more ‘quality sound driven’ music that produces a calming aura.
Of course, other styles and genre of music works to calm others which is typically stereotyped by the media as being the Classical Music offering a calming effect for most. Oh how time has changed and how the quality of sound has now brought Rock music out of the garages of the world to now being musically engineered marvels.
I won’t go into all of the changes or reasons Rock music has become more interesting or how the pioneers of Rock are now part of leading the change in people’s thinking of what Rock looks like. Rockers are not just the Tattooed and pierced noses part of society. Rock has a clean edge and it is entering areas of culture it has not been part of previously.
Providing an understanding of Rock to those who do not understand Rock is part of the direction I am taking in my efforts to help Golf through the changes it has to make to survive. Yes, there will always be Golf and people playing Golf, but to encourage the growth of golf more has to be done to highlight the other interest Golfers have.
Rock music has been the interest of millions of people for over 60 years. It just seems natural more needs to be developed to gather golfers who Rock to enjoy both Rock music and Golf.
Since I am a long time Rocker and enjoy the history (or should I say experienced most of it) of Rock Music I am going to work towards gathering the Rocking Golfers together. So, stay tuned..more is developing in this arena.
Until then…Let me know how I can help.

I play a large number of rounds of golf with owners and executives of businesses. The majority of these business provide products and services to other businesses. Their approach to doing business is a little different than most business plans and generally involves the need to move a large volume of goods in the deals they make. Still, the B2B businesses are having the same basic problems as all of the other businesses are having in this economy. I find it shocking the attitude many of these people have about using anything innovative or new to help develop new business. Social Media is one of them they do not see as a tool that works for them.

Courageous Conversations - Overcoming the fear of those ‘difficult’ conversationsDSM – the global leader in animal nutrition asked us to design a programme for the regional team to address two specific issues: finding and developing new business and having the courage to conduct those ‘difficult conversations’. |
|
In business, it seems that leaders are meant to be unqiuely unhuman – they are not supposed to worry about their emotions and should simply get on with those courageous conversations.
The programme and supporting coaching has yielded excellent results in the workplace. New clients, previously firmly stuck using a competitor have come on board. Poor performance within teams has been addressed. Existing clients who resisted price increases are willingly paying more, and overall customer satisfaction has improved. Well, we would say that wouldn’t we, so let us put you in touch directly with participants and hear their experiences direct. |

Take Back Your Time!
It seems like I hear more and more often from our coaching clients that they do not have enough hours in a day to accomplish what needs to done. Here is what they say: If it does, read on, because I have news for you. It does not have to. Too often we stay on the “gerbil wheel” of life feeling incapable of making the choice of taking the first jolting step off and instead we are thrown off by an illness or major difficulty. Have we all forgotten and missed the true meaning of the simple warning given at the beginning of every flight we take: “If the oxygen masks should fall, indicating a change in cabin pressure, put on your own mask first, BEFORE helping your children or others in need.” Or, in everyday terms: If your life should get so full that you are losing control of even the most simple of tasks, take care of your health and well-being first so you have the ability and energy required to support the ones you love and accomplish the tasks required. So what can you do to soften that first step off the “gerbil wheel” of life? First: stop thinking it is out of your control. You can and do have control, but you have to choose to exercise it. Second: Begin to look at all the areas of your life that are out of control or on the verge of being out of control and choose just one to look at, for the present. Third: Take one small step to gain back some time for you. Here are some suggestions: All of these ideas will help you focus on what is real and necessary and will begin the process of your taking back your time. This is just a beginning, think for yourself where you can make a difference in your life. After all, you didn’t give away your time all in one day, it probably happened gradually. Expectations were built, but these too can be modified. Be sure to explain your changes to all the people that they may effect, this is part of the remodeling of expectations. Also set up stopgaps for problems that may arise. Get someone to cover for you if that is possible. If not, make sure people know when you will be available again to help them. As you begin to gain some time for clarity and focus, you will notice your energy improves and your productivity will increase. You will gain even more time. Be sure you allocate some of that time for self care of your physical, personal and spiritual being. Bryan Dyson, the former CEO of Coca-Cola explained that he feels we juggle 5 different balls: a health ball, a family ball, a friends ball, a work ball and a spirituality ball. Four of the five are made out of crystal. If we drop them, they are going to shatter. Only one ball is made out of rubber and bounces back: the work ball. Coaching Challenge: Find one area in your life to which you are willing to apply these principles and go for it! |

Thanks to my good friend Scot Duke for this http://golftwitt.com/9kgm
It was a sunny morning, a little before 8:00 AM, on the first hole of a
busy course, and I was beginning my pre-shot routine, visualizing
my upcoming shot when a piercing voice came over the clubhouse
loudspeaker:
“Would the gentleman on the women’s tee please
back up to the men’s tee?”
I could feel every eye on the course looking at me. I was still
deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption.
Again the announcement:“Would the man on the women’s tee please back up
to the men’s tee!”I simply ignored the guy and kept concentrating, when once more the man
yelled,“Would the man on the women’s tee please back up to the men’s
tee!”I finally stopped, turned, cupped my hands and shouted back….
“Would the butthead with the microphone kindly keep quiet and let me play
my second shot?!”
