Troon Golf’s Al Larose, head golf professional at Copper Canyon Golf Club in Buckeye, Arizona, shares some team-building ideas that can be easily organized around a friendly game of golf. With a little planning and fore-thought, golf can be a great team-building exercise, providing the type of environment that builds positive reinforcement and strong interpersonal relationships that employees need on the job.

* Accommodate different skill levels. Your team will probably include people with very different skill levels. Different skill levels occur every day on the job, so this kind of team building exercise is appropriate. To accommodate the varying skills of your team members, you may want to play a team scramble or best ball event. This style of play lets each team member contribute where they can. And, it helps everyone feel like they are helping the team, which is the same spirit you are trying to build in the workplace. And don’t forget to call ahead. Most golf shop staff will supply the rules you need for a productive round of golf. Continue reading…

WTTC: How would you define the meetings and events industry?

KC: Currently our industry is in a bit of turmoil and it’s hard to forecast what will happen. It appears that everyone from vendors to clients to planners continue to perform with less, for less, making less. For instance, the hoteliers are offering huge discounts in very creative ways but obviously their gross profits are taking a hit. A transportation vendor still needs the business as they have their vehicle inventory payments so they too are discounting. My team still makes the same amount of phone calls for a group that used to be 400 people but is now 180 people. Our gross profits are deteriorating all while the same work effort is being put forth. That being said, I do believe that these times truly make us stronger as a group, as a team, and as an industry. These financial hiccups provide us with an opportunity to retool, rework, and embrace new practices and procedures to position for future successes. Continue reading…
