As club captain, I chaired the joint committee charged with running the business side of the golf club (annual turnover €800K). In this capacity I was general manager and had overall responsibility for marketing.This was a particularly challenging position in a recessionary, competitive situation in the over-supplied Irish golf market. It required step management change through assigning individual committee member responsibility for discrete areas of the business, such as catering, bar, pro shop, health & safety, employment law, self financing shower room project, etc.Achievements for the year include recruitment of 100 new members through a re-vamped website and social networking (e.g. Livingsocial.ie, Facebook), profitable accounts, vastly improved communications with members (our key customers), establishment of a buggy club, consensus on member sub reduction, establishment of new membership categories geared to a rapidly segmenting market.
