On-Site Corporate Golf Lessons for Employees: An Innovation in Golf Instruction
Article by Nicolas Miller and Herb Rubenstein, PGA
Introduction
Corporations have gyms and these gyms often have professional trainers to help guide the employees in their exercise and strength training programs. Now, with the invention of a patent pending, mobile, inflatable golf simulator, using Foresight equipment, a top-notch golf lessons can be provided for up to 20 employees a day per simulator on the site of any corporate headquarters, office building, housing development, warehouse, manufacturing facility or even parking lot of a company.
Benefits of Giving Employees Golf Lessons
There are many benefits of providing employees who want to take up golf, beginners, or those who are already proficient at golf, with on-site golf lessons. Today, golf lessons are expensive in both time and money. They are hit and miss as to the quality of the golf instruction, the quality of the facilities, and clubs used for the lesson (unless the player provides their own clubs which is not possible for beginners).
In addition, golf lessons are usually private and do not promote collaboration and communication between those taking lessons even from the same instructor.
An on-site, mobile golf simulator housed set of golf lessons for your employees solves all of these problems. In fact, below are just some of the benefits of providing golf lessons in an on-site golf simulator through a PGA golf instructor, as offered by Golf Pro Delivered.
1. You set the date(s) for the simulator to be brought to your company.
2. This could be part of an employee rewards program or part of a professional development program.
3. Employee morale will be lifted by the quality of the golf instruction and the friendly, non-threatening environment of hitting golf balls in a golf simulator.
4. Employees will gain confidence
5. Employees will be more willing to take initiative at work and support other employees on their team, since these are part of the values that are taught and demonstrated in the lessons in addition to the technical aspects of the golf swing
6. Employees will get a follow up email explaining professionally what to work on with their swing to improve their golf game.
7. Diversity can be promoted by the selection process leading to including employees from all walks of life in the group that gets a golf lesson from the company.
8. Those who take the golf lesson can continue a dialogue amongst themselves via a chat room or emails through the company, and can even begin to play golf together.
9. These lessons may lead to a great corporate event, the employee golf tournament.
10. As part of your “acknowledgement strategy” of the company, or as part of a human resources personal development strategy for your employees, these lessons would take a person out of their job duties less than one hour on the day the simulator is in operation on your site.
