Pat Murphy, Director of Golf at The Kendleshire, attended in 2021 and is looking forward to the next edition.
“The chance to spend a few days away from our normal environment with people who understand our industry inside out is something not to be missed,” he said.
“I have been to the last three conferences and have always left feeling empowered again and full of energy.
“Our teams and customers are the most important thing in our business and I am sure I will leave this year’s conference buzzing about what is possible – and I have been doing this job for a long time.”
“I would defy anyone to leave one of Greg Patterson’s seminars not thinking they could sell golf and hospitality to the world. The same can be said of listening to Kevin Fish and his analytical mind and knowledge of our industry.
“Our teams and customers are the most important thing in our business and I am sure I will leave this year’s conference buzzing about what is possible – and I have been doing this job for a long time.”
And Murphy is not alone in his excitement for returning to the conference after attending in 2021, with Teignmouth’s General Manager Martin Hucklesby also raring to go.
Asked why being there mattered to him, Hucklesby replied: “It is important to talk to my fellow General Managers so we can share the challenges and pressures of work.
“The challenges seem greater than ever and sometimes it helps to share with more GMs.”
