From Nicklaus.com - For all his amazing accomplishments playing the game, it’s possible to overlook the impact Jack Nicklaus has on golf facilities around the world as a golf course designer. Now the Nicklaus Companies is using this month’s PGA Merchandise Show to launch a new communications initiative to bring facility employees closer together—no matter how far apart they are.
Using The Targeted Group’s proprietary social media platform, the Nicklaus Companies is launching what’s called Nicklaus Connect. Membership in the community will initially be leaders at Nicklaus Design courses—such as directors of golf, PGA professionals, general managers and superintendents. These invited members of the private online Nicklaus Connect community will be able to communicate directly with each other to share best practices, ask and answer questions, and network with their counterparts at the hundreds of Nicklaus Design courses around the world. This innovative idea was featured in this month’s PGA Magazine and its PGA Show preview for Nicklaus Connect’s unique way of connecting clubs worldwide.
Nicklaus Connect has been in beta testing for several weeks, and the formal rollout will be in Orlando at this week’s PGA Merchandise Show, Jan. 27-29. Show attendees can see a demo of the service at the PGA Magazine booth. Staff members of Nicklaus Design courses and Nicklaus partners can stop by the booth between 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 27, or 10:00 a.m.-noon on Friday, Jan. 28, for exclusive demonstrations.
