Local Knowledge
TGA’s Monthly Newsletter for Golf Club Pros & Management
Welcome to Local Knowledge, a new publication from the Texas Golf Association geared specifically for operational management personnel at our Member Clubs. For over 100 years, the TGA has worked closely with its Member Clubs to help make the Lone Star State one of the most popular places in the world to play golf. We are proud of the fact that we’ve grown from an initial five Member Clubs in 1906 to more than 500 today. Our roster now boasts more than 122,000 passionate golfers who cover every geographic region in the state.
Our robust list of Member Clubs is comprised of people who are committed to improving not only their club’s day-to-day operations, but also their members’ overall experience. The goal of Local Knowledge is to share ideas, studies, and best practices from the global golf community. The TGA believes this interchange of knowledge is important to everyone and can help our Member Clubs gain new insights into how best to handle the common challenges of business today.
The TGA is, as always, dedicated to becoming ever-increasingly relevant to our membership. We hope Local Knowledge will become a valuable resource for you. For more information or to suggest a story idea, please CLICK HERE.
