Colorado Springs, CO (April 4, 2011) – The Professional Golf Management students at the University of Colorado – Colorado Springs Business School will participate in an engaging classroom workshop facilitated by J. J. Keegan, Managing Principal of Golf Convergence focusing on Best Management Practices and How to Maximize the Investment Return of a Golf Course on April 5, 2011.
The Workshop conducted by Golf Convergence is designed to supplement its ING Outstanding Achievement Award winning book, “The Business of Golf: What Are You Thinking? How To Maximize the Financial Return of A Golf Course.”
“This is a very exciting opportunity. Each of the students have successfully completed internships at some of the nation’s leading courses. Blending their field experience with contemporary academic learning creates an unparalleled classroom environment. This learning opportunity contributes to ensuring that these students emerge from college as valuable contributors to the management of a golf course at the outset of their careers, “stated Keegan, a former certified public accountant, who holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Texas Christian University and a Masters in business from the University of Michigan.
One of the most recognized authorities on the business of golf today, Keegan will reveal to the students his innovative vision, which is based on hard data and extensive field experience in more than 40 countries around the world. Encompassing virtually every aspect of strategic, tactical and operational practices involving golf courses, the Golf Convergence WIN™ formula sheds light on proven solutions for success, as well as common mistakes that lead to failure.
“The University of Colorado – Colorado Springs and Ed Kelbel, Director of the PGM Program, are to be congratulated for creating a forum for today’s students to share in current educational concepts” Keegan stated. “We are very pleased to be emerging as one of the leaders in education for the golf industry. Our Alexa ranking is the highest among any golf trade association or consulting firm except for the PGA and the USGA. This educational component complements our strategic consulting practice.
