Part of the strength of this DVD is that it describes the benefits and process of renovation from the viewpoint of all the players associated with the club,” notes Bruce Charlton, ASGCA President. “The expertise of leading architects, club managers, superintendents and club owners make this piece relevant and watchable. It’s a great tool for educating any club on the nuts and bolts of renovation, with both background by experts and illustration of the process through the telling of applicable case studies.”
The DVD consists of six”modules” — introduction, renovation overview, financing options, the communication process and two case studies — which can be watched individually or as a cohesive whole that lasts 38 minutes. CMAA has also produced a companion booklet to complement the piece.
“There are compelling reasons to consider renovation now,” notes CMAA Chief Executive Officer Jim Singerling, CCM, CEC. “Building materials and labor costs are low, and financing costs can be attractive. Perhaps some clubs are scaling back their golf course renovation plans, but for many, this is a very good time to learn more about how to enhance this important club asset.”
