On February 9, 2015, Tyler and I attended Algonquin College for the presentations from each of the groups. They presented to us privately, while the Professor was also in the room to grade their presentation.

At the beginning of May 2015, we implemented Stage 1 of the winning plan. The total cost was $3,200. Step 1 involved installing an 8’ high x 30’ long wall between our open concept pro shop and lounge eating area. The pro shop counter was moved from the front door wall and reconfigured to now face the door so when you walk in, an employee is facing and greeting you; which provides much better hospitality.
The merchandise display in the now “distinct” pro shop is incredible. In 2015, golf ball sales alone
