Charleston,
SC – April 2020 / Newsmaker Alert / In an effort to support golf courses
throughout the country during these times of crisis and uncertainty, the
National
Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) has opened Accelerate — its
members-only online discussion community — to ALL golf course owners and
operators. Access will be available through May 31, 2020 at no cost or
obligation to the facility. Interested owners and operators can sign
up for this free access online.

 “If
we can open the lines of communication between more golf course owners
and operators, perhaps we can play a part in greater business survival
and recovery,” said Jay Karen, NGCOA CEO. “Having one location where course
operators can connect, share and learn as proven to be one of the most
valuable benefits for our members.”
Many
courses have closed temporarily or have changed normal operating procedures,
while others are still completely open for play. Some owners and operators
are left only with the ability to protect and maintain their investment
and are trying to prioritize their spring maintenance with a very limited
crew. It’s business and staff challenges like these where encouragement
and advice from experienced peers provide solace; this online portal has
always been useful to members but has become even more of a vital resource
for this communication since this pandemic began.
“I
love having this Accelerate community in this crazy time!” said Amy Coghill,
owner of Silver Lake Golf Club in Orland Park, IL. “I get great info and
a sense of ‘we’re all in this together’.”
