I'm gonna brag a bit here...
I just received a real nice testimonial from Brian Crawford, PGA Professional and an owner of a golf club in Missouri:
"I have known Mike Kahn for years and his experience and wisdom of the entire golf industry is legendary. I am the head golf pro and an owner of a golf course and country club in Mo. I have been in the industry for many years and know enough to always seek good advice. It's crucial in any business to have people you trust and respect. To this day I still pick his brain for advice and ideas. Before you make a move in this ever changing world of golf I strongly suggest you contact Mike. Reach out and spend just a little time with Mike and it can save you big in the future. "
I love to answer inquiries from anyone, anywhere in the golf world. I hear from students, golf course owners, appraisers, persons aspiring to own a golf course, brokers and even attorneys. I always reply with my advice or comments.

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.
Mike..why not add swimming pools, tennis courts, fine dining, etc to some of these hurting courses.
ReplyDeletemaybe then they could make money?
Thanks, Steve. You are right. I have managed swimming pools, a fitness center, hard court and Har-True tennis courts, practice ranges, miniature golf, and full service fine 'white table cloth' dining. I also ran a stay-and-play lodge.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention I once had a lighted par-3 golf course?
