Here at Islander Golf we are, and we've teamed up with Ian Hamilton Golf Consultancy to prove it.
At a time when the global golf market is struggling to survive what we need is innovators to turn things around. Individuals to make golf a profitable business again, and move our golf clubs away from that precipice…. Ian Hamilton is just that man.
In his first club management position Ian managed to increase Aberdovey Golf Club's 2009 green fee revenue by 40%, and win 3 national awards in 16 months. Fairly impressive stuff, i'm sure you'l agree.
“There is, without doubt, a fear of change within golf clubs. I get round this by explaining that they don’t build golf courses in concrete and all the big courses constantly refresh and update their product to remain market attractive. Without change; nothing happens and it’s quite clear that golf clubs need to do move forward to attract new and sustainable business”. - Ian Hamilton
IHGC will be providing club management consultancy as well as project management consultancy for our clients who need it, whilst Islander Golf will back-up IHGC's clients with architectural & construction consultancy.
Altogether, this means that both Islander Golf and Ian Hamilton Golf Consultancy can offer an all-inclusive consultancy package for our customers.
We'll get some info about Ian up on the website in due course, but in the meantime you should check out his extremely flashy website- Ian Hamilton Golf Consultancy.
Ian may throw in a piece for the blog once in a while, too so yet another reason to keep checking in here.
