Tasting Till They Drop
A few weeks ago, we hosted our annual tasting for all of our couples who plan to hold their receptions at our place this year. Of all of the events that we host, I think this one requires the most amount of preparation time. Our couples are allowed to request foods that interest them. Each couple […]
And Then… I Met Mr. Jack Nicklaus
For the last couple of days, I’ve been sharing all of my golfing adventures with you while I attended the National Golf Course Owner Association’s (NGCOA) annual conference. Here’s the golf course tour of Shingle Creek and here’s a view of the Golf Industry Show just in case you missed it. I must admit. […]
The Golf Industry Show
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I attended the National Golf Course Owner Association’s annual conference last week. It’s a pretty major event because it coincides with the Golf Industry Show as well as the Superintendent’s conference. There are nearly 16,000 people who come to Orlando for the Golf Conference. There are bad pants and […]
A Tour of Shingle Creek
Last week, I attended the annual conference for the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA). It’s held every year sometime in February and is the perfect way to get energized for the upcoming year. There are golf course owners from all different walks of life. There are people who are like me. Family owned and […]
Back in the Saddle
I have taken about a month of a hiatus in writing blog posts. It definitely didn’t have anything to do with lack of activity around the golf course. Probably because there has been too much activity. Here I am, though, back in the saddle and ready to bring you lots of information about all of […]
Birthday Party Central
Over the weekend, our staff completed their 200th minigolf birthday party of the season. I didn’t want to figure it out for fear of depressing my mom, Freddi the Kitchen Guru, but that also means that she made her 500th pizza of the season. She has gotten quite good at making her homemade crust and […]
The Caring Caricos
Our family feels fortunate to be the host to about forty fundraising golf outings each year. It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many great causes out there that need help. I have featured several of them here on our website. If you’d like to check them out, you can click here, […]
Angels in our Midst
In my line of business, I get to meet some incredible people. They are people who have huge hearts and display an unbelievable amount of dedication to their cause. Our golf course is fortunate to be a venue that helps foundations, charities, families or other organizations raise money. While working during an event, I often […]
Talented Dads Are Cool
We have held probably over 250 wedding receptions at our facility in the last five years. I can say with great certainty that every single one looks different. Even if they have the same color scheme, there is always a different twist. A splash of the couple’s personality in the mix. It might be my […]
