Page 2 - GV Member Survey 2019 - Comments

Every two months in Sep to April, monthly in the peak season
Too early - I just joined
I would read it more often if it was in the actual body of the email instead of an attached pdf. I always
scroll passed the president and board members messages. I want to see specifics on the course.
Weather trends, maintenance schedules, upcoming changes...In general I would say the current format
has far too many words and is likely very time consuming for the writers.

I think it is written well. There are a lot of sections I don't read (ie. Sengrovals, Handicap committee).
But it is nice how it is broken up so I can read what I am interested in. Some sections are a bit long so
I will skim them.
Better explanation of the Financial income statement / balance sheet.
less "corporate". A little more insight into what members are about during the winter season etc.
Proshop news etc.

Q20.What would you suggest to improve the content of the Club Connect?
The formatting needs work it could be graphical and easier to digest the information.
More content relative to the golf world now in terms of social media, etc
Every two weeks, captivating headlines, maybe a local rules section (pick a hole and highlight a rules
question and explanation that someone has brought up after being faced with it?)
Updated layout would make it more engaging to younger members.

Q21. What other forms of communication would you suggest to improve membership
communications?
Post upcoming tournaments and interesting events on a sign where you have the sign on the first tee
asking players to wait until the group ahead is on the green prior to hitting. On a dry erase board or
something, i never know about tournaments until its too late and i love playing in them

I think communication is well done
Use of Social media
Overall we just need to update the current forms of communication. Bring it to 2020 I feel it is stuck
in 2005. I'm sure we can compare to other local courses to see what the necessary changes are.
I read the posters in the men's locker because I pass it so often. It is a good spot
Would like to see scores posted of tournaments.
Instagram, Twitter
Text
Social media, of all varieties. Instagram, YouTube, etc.
Mobile updates for frost delays, course updates are helpful. emails can become too much....
Instagram or social media account. Members could tag photos, videos, content to it?

Q22. What would attract your family members, if not currently a GV member, to join the club?
An experimental membership for 1 month where they only pay the monthly due and see what
membership is like before the initiation fee needs to be paid
Lower joining fee
A family referral benefit
My family are members at other locations at this time.
