What you need to know about golf courses?(three)
Golf course operation
1, golf this sport does consume time and money, but so do many niche industries, such as photography, fishing, equestrian, tennis, etc., play to a certain extent is also a time-consuming and costly activity.
Golf, like other sports and games, has a social function, no different from peeing and mud wrestling, shuttlecock kicking, mah-jongg playing or square dancing. Because the golf course has a better environment, it is often blessed with real estate, and is labeled with identity or even status, which is actually too grandiose. In essence, golf is a game of etiquette, rules, self-challenge and conquest of nature. There are many top private courses in the United States and Europe, but there are also many public community courses, which means that after work, you go to the nearby course to play nine holes (half ball), sports and gambling 2 bottles of beer. There is no caddie service in the community golf course, and the facilities are simple. Generally, local residents are the main players. Such courses cost about $30 per game. To pay for workers and maintenance, the surplus is not much. In Asia, it is more obvious in South Korea and Japan, where many working people also meet to play golf on weekends.
2, golf domestic survival environment In China over the past 20 years, golf survival and development environment is very bad.
China has a vast territory, and if poor water and special environmental protection areas are removed, there are countless barren beaches, wild suburbs, shoals and rocky areas suitable for building golf courses. A paper policy to subvert an industry and open the direction of public opinion and constantly demonize and black is a very undesirable strategy. Reasonable management is to limit the number and scale of regional courses, for land, water, electricity, environmental protection, etc., the local competent department and the construction party jointly sign the commitment and responsibility, and the professional department issues the opinion report and then the competent department approves.
The media has explained four reasons for the blackening of golf: 1, land, 2, water and drug pollution. 3) Corruption: If golf courses are a major factor in corruption, it makes sense to eliminate them all. But what is the logical relationship between golf as a sport and corruption? Conversely, is there no corruption in areas without golf courses? When you think about it carefully, you will find that this is a false setting up of contradictory objects. 4, the rich game, which is to incite hatred of the rich, pull the concept of opposition, consumption of services or products is one of the purposes of everyone to make money. People can not make money to count for fun, do not improve the quality of life, do not consume, this is against the basic human nature. Whether the rich or the working class, one of the purposes of making money is to consume and improve the quality of life, while consumption can lead to employment and the development of related industries.
If you have been to a banned golf project before it was built, after it was built, after it was shut down, you can see that before it was built, most courses were a wasteland, then they were bustling and then they became a target. After the ban, it became a wasteland. Toss a back and forth, that piece of land originally had no economic value, ecological value, ornamental value, and then returned to the past, it seems that many stories have happened, and it seems that nothing has happened. It’s just a matter of stirring up time and wasting ink.
- Golf course operation
When the size of the 18 golf courses is determined, the size of the guests has been determined, and then the functions of the club are determined, and the deduction factor is determined after considering the location, regional industrial economic development, radiation area, competition number, traffic time and other factors. The operation of the 18-hole course is generally divided into morning and afternoon courses according to the time spent on each ball. The number of players accommodated in each game is closely related to the length of time, and exceeding a certain number will cause congestion and increase the playing time. The guests usually play in a group of 4 people, each group departure interval of 8 minutes, 18 holes can be at the same time from the 1st and 10th holes, because the regular time to play in 4 hours, then the two sides of the departure by 2 hours. With an 8-minute interval between each group, you can divide 15 starts into 30 groups, that is, 120 people are playing at the same time, theoretically without blocking. Considering the 14 non-par 3 holes, one group can be added to wait, so the theoretical maximum load is 44 groups. Due to factors such as the booking time and early arrival of guests, there will be 30-45 minutes of time for guests to be particularly concentrated, considering the different levels of players, the actual operation of 44 groups will cause congestion, after the discount, the best operation group of 36-40 groups is the best range, that is, the number of guests in a single game is not more than 160 people, and the number of guests throughout the day is not more than 320 people. Since the number of people in the matinee is generally lower than that in the morning, the number of passengers reaching 300 all day is full load, and when the number of passengers is 140 in the morning, 100 in the afternoon, and 240 people throughout the day, it is smooth and saturated.
After considering the reduction and reduction coefficient of 240 people, determine the number of dressing room, wardrobe and shower room, the number of restaurant tables, the size of the kitchen, the number of caddies and caddie lounge, the number of carts and parking garage, the number and size of meeting rooms and multi-function rooms, the number and size of the guest parking lot, and so on. According to the number of areas to determine the overall club scale, office, lawn and maintenance area, equipment parking area, warehouse and dormitory.
Golf course operation management is more difficult in the service industry, especially when the club sells long-term and short-term membership, bringing more coordination difficulties. At the same time, the lawn department such as maintenance, sprinkler irrigation, grass cutting, health, flowers and trees, weed treatment, food and beverage department and sales department, locker room, caddy, departure station, security and other staggered problems and accidents, need to have a high response ability and coordination ability.
4, the charm of golf The fun of golf is mainly to toss their own process, written language is the pursuit of progress and perfection. Golf itself is a unique sport.
In terms of golf skills, golf is a relatively technical sport, long and short strokes, obstacles, distance, and so on will require adjustment of their playing style. The basic style of play focuses on body power, balance and graceful posture.
In terms of exercise, it can be mediated by playing speed and hitting distance set within a certain range.
In terms of psychology, golf is a sport of competition between oneself and oneself, and the process of playing is not only affected by external obstacles, sound and behavior, but also mainly affected by one’s own psychology. The psychological effect on sports becomes very interesting and often “accidents” occur. For example, the wooden club (except for professional players), yesterday’s tee shot 250 yards, today may be 200 yards, full of uncertainty, but this uncertainty is always believed by the player can narrow the error “sure” down. For people’s normal psychology, perfection seems to be 50 yards away, constantly to pursue. When the golfer is stable at 210+-15 yards and always falls on the fairway, he tries to hit the ball at 250 yards. This is the pursuit of progress. These processes are constantly intertwined, making the game of golf extremely attractive.
In terms of environment, the golf course has a beautiful environment and a very low risk factor, with blue sky and white clouds, sunshine, breeze, green grass, fish and birds, quiet lake and enchanting sand pits. The scenery is colorful, the air is fresh, and the life is diverse.
The golf course has a set of social etiquette, and generally even if you don’t know each other, waving your hand will be greeted with a nod. There is quite a harmonious atmosphere of activity. Even if you don’t speak the language, you can’t help cheering for a good shot (except gamblers).
