Welcome to the Changing the Business of Golf podcast. In this episode, host Gary Firkins is joined by Ed Pettit, Managing Director at Carr Golf Services. A former PGA Professional turned golf business leader, Ed draws on more than two decades of experience to share his practical strategies for building long-term business success in golf.

Ed reveals findings from a survey, conducted by Carr Golf Services, which showed that while 90% of golfers believe the course is the most important part of their experience, only 22% were satisfied with year-round course conditioning.

In this conversation, Ed outlines three critical changes that every golf club needs to consider today, including:

Why prioritizing the conditioning your golf course is the key driver of revenue growth

How clubs of all sizes can use data to improve decision making and course performance

What golf clubs must do to meet future regulation challenges and ensure long-term business sustainability

Tune in to learn how your golf business can prepare and adapt for the future.
