I love this...
A good friend and a real classy country club manager, Allan Irwin, just announced his new position at Niagara Falls Country Club/Youngstown Yacht Club. What a perfect match.
Allan and I go back to about 1990 when we were contemplating which direction we would go in the golf business. He came up on a vastly different track than I did. Allan has the polish and skill to manage high-end country cubs, while I came up from the down-and-dirty daily fee golf world. However, it was amazing that we had then, and still have the same fundamental approach to golf as a business today, which says, "At the end of the day the balance sheet rules - period!"
Allan stuck to his country club route with a long stint with Toll Brothers, Inc. as Vice President of Country Club Operations.
Congratulations to Allan Irwin and good fortune for Niagara Falls Country Club.

Hello from Mike Kahn: I'm all about the golf business and the game. As my distance off the tee shrinks, apparently participation in golf is also shrinking. I've seen it all and done it all in the golf business, yet I've been a recreational player 99% of the time. The 1% was when I was a Canadian PGA member in the early 60's. As I blog along, probably mostly talking to myself, my comments might be picked up by a blind squirrel - and maybe even post a reply.
