CLEVELAND -- In the latest issue of Golf Event magazine, event planners and course staff discuss the expectations they have of each other. When it comes to golf outings, event planners say they have high expectations of course pros; while the pros say they want to make the events just as successful as planners do. The more communication planners and pros have prior to outings, the more successful events will be produced, benefitting everyone in the golf industry.

"Golf outings are very appealing from a variety of perspectives," says Brad Seybert, president of Golf Event Media. "Golf events are an efficient means of revenue for a golf course or resort, a bulk selling opportunity for suppliers of products and services and a great excuse for participants to play golf and either contribute to a cause or network for business. In my opinion, golf events are the perfect medium to achieve a variety of objectives—even to help grow the game of golf by getting more participants new to the game to be involved. The success of golf outings and events is really dependent upon the planner and the golf professional communicating effectively, as well as the planner to the participants. By combining the networking component, everyone prospers. Communication and networking are two key elements to business success, as well as the success of golf outings and events, especially if they expect to grow."
