154. Things You Might Not Know About Running a Golf Club with Daryl and Derek Crawford

I’m sitting down with Daryl and Derek Crawford to learn just what it takes to run a golf club, drawing from their over four decades of experience! Known in the golf world as D&D, both identical twins have dedicated their lives to the sport for 40 years and counting! Today, Daryl works as the General Manager of Papago Golf Course in Phoenix, while Daryl serves as general manager at Coldwater Golf Club in the West Valley. In 2020, the brothers were presented with the Updegraff Award, which is given annually to a person who, “By his or her actions and accomplishments exemplify the Spirit of the Game.” Listen in as Daryl and Derek recall their shared love of golf from an early age–a journey that took them from forming a high school golf team to serving as tour representatives for PING and other programs at top courses worldwide. Asked what it takes to operate a successful golf course, the brothers tackle everything from day and membership rates to ball management, to the maintenance of practice areas, to maximizing tee times and revenue streams. To the Crawford brothers, impeccable service and a quality product can set a golf course apart, even in a competitive market. Finally, we’re talking about the evolving retail landscape within the industry, and how brands are racing to meet the needs of underrepresented groups in the world of amateur and professional golf!Check out Papago Golf Club here and book a tee time!Check out Coldwater Golf Club here and book a tee time!To download a free copy of the Round Report Card, visit RoundReportCard.com.For more information about all our women’s golf events, including the Desert Classic, please visit: CompeteConfidenceGolf.com Subscribe to our FREE Female Golfer Facebook Group: First T Crew [Behind the Scenes of Women’s Golf] Get in touch!Instagram: @tori_totlisTikTok: @tori_totlisYouTube: @tori.totlisWebsite: CompeteConfidenceGolf.com
