Wisdom of Golf Management

If you gathered 100 experienced golf managers together and asked for their advice, this is what you might hear.

“No task is beneath you.” Don’t think you are above anything. Be the good example and pitch in — especially if the job is one that nobody wants to do.

“Ask for Help.” If you think you’re in over you’re head, you probably are. Before it gets out of hand, ask someone for help — most people enjoy giving a hand. Besides saving yourself from embarrassment, you’ll make a friend and an ally.

“When you don’t like someone, don’t let it show.” Especially if you outrank them. Never burn bridges or offend others as you move ahead.

“When you are right, don’t gloat.” The only time you should ever use the phrase “I told you so” is if someone says to you: “You were right. I really could succeed at that project.”
