With the golf world’s attention turned to Rome and the Ryder Cup, we take a look at data recently released by the National Golf Foundation as it relates to the core golfer (8+ rounds annually) and their feelings towards team golf events. Some key takeaways for operators to consider when planning next year's competition and social calendar: ◾ 90% of core golfers cite playing a "team event" before, with 77% having done so in the past year. ◾ Though more core golfers prefer individual play vs. partner play, 72% say they would play in more team events if they were more widely offered. ◾ 64% of respondents point to camaraderie and the social aspect as being the biggest appeal of team play.

Growing up on the east coast of Scotland, GAA wasn’t that well known. Since relocating to the Emerald Isle 🍀 I still only seem to have developed what could generously be described as a basic understanding of the sport. Despite this, I was particularly pleased to have been invited along to the Saffron Business Forum lunch on Friday and to hear Jim McGuinness speak about his journey to the highest levels of amateur sport, his experience in moving into professional sport and working in Scotland, Japan and the US. What is quite apparent is that sports are sports - apart from some fine technical analysis on certain rule changes within the game, what was said could have been applied to any competitive team sport or indeed, any successful business. I suspect I may be doing Jim a slight injustice here but some of the key takeaways (for me at least) were as follows; Values - What you do is more important that what you say you do. Those ‘values’ you put on your website? Not important (Jim put it more 'succinctly' that that!) IF you don’t demonstrate and adhere to those values with your staff and customers/clients. Culture and philosophy - Vital to creating a successful team (and business) but they can’t be dictated...they need buy-in from the whole team. People – if a team member was worth the effort the Thursday before they broke their leg, they are worth the effort in getting them back fit. Everyone can go through ‘seasons’ whether that is partners, customers/clients or employees. Sometimes the reason for a drop in performance is clear (eg broken leg). Sometimes its not. Maybe it’s personal, maybe it’s professional. Either way, remember that person’s value and help get them back on their feet. 3 conversations – notwithstanding the above, if someone isn’t meeting expectations or buying in to the team in the way they should, they get 3 conversations. I don’t think I would like to have that third conversation with Jim. 45 metre line rule change – genuinely I have no idea. Something about the 15 metre line was talked about too but now I know what goes through my wife's head when I try to explain rugby’s 50:22 kicking laws. Well done to all the organisers and sponsors for an excellent event and thanks of course to Agnew Leasing for the invite! #saffronbusinesslunch #johnsons   

The Ryder Cup stands as a unique battleground in the world of golf. Individual players transition from solitary warriors to integral parts of an international team. Unlike standard tour events (where golfers compete for personal glory and rankings), the Ryder Cup places players in a pressure cooker of camaraderie, rivalry, and national pride. In regular tournaments, golfers are accustomed to relying solely on their skills, mental fortitude, and self-reliance. However, in the Ryder Cup, they are thrust into a team environment where their every stroke affects not just their standing but also that of their team and, by extension, their nation/continent. Golfers, who are usually masters of controlling their emotions and focus, must now navigate the complexities of team dynamics. They must synchronise their playing styles with teammates, deal with the ebbs and flows of team morale, and manage the weight of expectations from their fellow players, captains, and fans. This shift from an individual to a collective mindset challenges their psychological resilience. The pressure intensifies as they not only play for themselves but also for their team, their country, and the legacy of the Ryder Cup. The Ryder Cup also amplifies the psychological impact of every shot. A missed putt or a wayward drive doesn't just affect the individual scorecard; it resonates across the entire team, creating a ripple effect of emotions and pressure. The camaraderie within the team, the electrifying atmosphere fueled by passionate fans, and the pride of representing one's country add layers of psychological complexity. Golfers must balance their personal drive for success with the responsibility of being a team player, making strategic decisions that benefit their game and contribute to their team's collective success. This unique blend of individual pressure within a team context makes the Ryder Cup a fascinating battlefield where mental resilience, emotional control, and teamwork are paramount. #golf #rydercup #teamcompetition

"We are here for the golfers, and without them, there is no golf club. That is our main driver for using feedback". - shares Anna Wickberg, Golf Club Manager at Idrefjällens Golfklubb. Effective teamwork and the use of feedback have greatly facilitated her role as a Golf Club Manager. 📊 Wickberg considers it crucial to provide data-driven arguments when suggesting potential improvements to the golf course and presenting these proposals to the Board or other club decision-makers. And the Players 1st Surveys offers exactly that: Clear, documented insights into what golfers enjoy and dislike. #sverige #customerexperiencemanagement #golfindustry #growthegame

Massive apologies to Tommy Fleetwood for screen-grabbing his slo-mo saliva moment that was akin to Russel Crowe's scene from Gladiator, but what an image to show the passion of the Ryder Cup. What is it about the Ryder Cup that brings out so much passion and emotion from the players, coaches and crowds! There's nothing else quite like it. And for someone who doesn't watch much golf at all (one of the few sports that fits in this category) I definitely jumped on the bandwagon for this year's Ryder Cup, as it dominated my weekend. But I was interested in looking at why this format is so successful in warming our cockles so successfully. Here's a few ideas I had over the weekend: 1. National Pride - pitting the best golfers from the US vs the best from Europe 2. Team Format - players form strong bonds with their teammates and a sense of camaraderie and unity that fans can identify with 3. Tradition and History - the amount of mentions of Seve show how much the teams use history to gain an advantage 4. Partisan & Passionate Fan Base - The energy and passion of the crowd add to the drama and emotion of the event, and the "home advantage" is a real factor 5. Team Uniforms and Colours - teams wear distinctive uniforms and colours 6. Moments - simple, the big moments just feel bigger, and heroes are made in those clutch moments that go down in history Europe were out for revenge after the record loss two years ago. The US will be wanting the same in New York in two years time. Someone wind the clocks forward wont you! #golf #rydercup #competition

This is what happens when you make a space for other people different than you in a community. The community benefits and your team becomes larger and more meaningful. I love this.
