GSO
– GOLF SHOP OPERATIONS
GSO,
a division of Arden & Fogarty LLC, specialize in consulting on
facility operations for small and medium sized municipal course, private
club, driving range and golf store managers / owners worldwide.
GSO
realizes through our own experiences that it is impossible to own,
manage or be employed at a club, driving range or golf store and not
eventually become somewhat ‘snow blind’ to that facility. We’re equipped
to report constructively either as an independent outsider, a customer,
an experienced manager - either in secrecy or openly - and we include
in our initial report topics such as:
•
Overall quality levels
• Existing furniture / fittings and materials
• Promotions and advertising
• Staff training / levels / incentives / performances and the effective
rostering of staff
• Space management, stock levels / brands / models
• Stock takes (inventory) and stock turnover rates
• Mystery shopping, understanding local competitors
• Understanding industry trends and consulting regular customers for
their needs
• The custom fitting of golf clubs, minor repairs / warranties / customer
loyalty systems
• Invoice management
• Lease contracts and their effectiveness
Every
facility we have consulted with has increased profitability by varying
degrees, dating back to 1993, and our initial ‘visit and report’ fee
is an attraction that often opens new relationships for our company.
Some of our suggestions are traditional; many are radical, all are
based on fact and past experience within the golf industry. With our
commitment to plain honesty and flexibility, GSO is an increasingly
sort after partner for smaller and medium sized facilities who don’t
require, or can’t afford, a complete range of managers or a full-time
Director of Golf on their payroll. We continue to operate on a strict
‘one client at a time’ principle, in order to offer a truly personal
service.
