Tagmarshal 2021 Awards Celebrates and Honors Partners’ Success
The year 2021 began with a sense of optimism, and golf operators have not been disappointed as the game has continued to thrive across the country. Tagmarshal’s partners again demonstrated how implementing optimization technology, good management practices, and enabling continuous data driven improvement, have been the keys to achieving success in what has been a very busy season.
To celebrate their course partners achievements, Tagmarshal once again recognizes those courses who delivered outstanding success with the announcement of the 2021 Awards. While entry into the Tagmarshal Awards is automatic for partner courses, only exceptional performance is rewarded based on benchmarking data and measured course results.
“Tagmarshal’s focus is on building strong long-term relationships with our partners that deliver bottom line value through continuous improvement, with partners routinely achieving ROI of $100k to +$300k in additional green fees or member gains. They are committed to developing new and innovative optimization technology that meets the challenges of golf operators head on, giving them the tools to succeed,” said Joey Walters, General Manager, Tagmarshal Atlanta Headquarters.
The Awards are a way of showcasing and rewarding excellence among course partners as well as instilling a strong drive for improvement, season after season. These consist of three categories – Diamond, Platinum, and Gold, as well as a separate category for stand out recipients who achieved success within a specific area.
Tagmarshal congratulates all winners, but particularly the Diamond Award winners on their high levels of performance and service. These exceptional courses have shown incredible improvements in pace and flow of play, with a positive impact on the player experience, while deploying further optimization strategies resulting in optimal efficiency, enhanced levels of service and significant increases in revenue.
