Following their most recent appointment by PG Golf and Sports Academy, The Bucket Pros have launched their acclaimed and successful ‘Boost Method’ training in Spain. Hosted at the award-winning venue, La Cala Resort, the training was attended by managers from both the host venue and PG Golf and Sports Academy. The training, which is a four-part course, first looks to shift the focus of the club managers to consider the practice facility as a business, not just a service that incurs costs. Over the duration of the first course – two days – the attendees learned some valuable insights into best practice, digitalisation and profitability.
Robert Mitchell, director of golf at La Cala Resort, who attended the training said: “Our ultimate goal at La Cala Resort is to maximise our opportunities and become as profitable as we can. The Bucket Pros have provided us with visionary ideas and practices for us to begin implementing. By developing the way we manage and operate our facility will not only support profitability, but also provide the customer with an enhanced experience. I look forward to the future training sessions and continuing to work with The Bucket Pros.”
Edouard Des Fontaines, director of sales marketing at La Cala Resort added: “From a sales and marketing perspective, the training has been of great value to our development strategy. The Bucket Pros insight and concepts for incorporating the driving range and services into our third party, tour operator and direct sales channels has offered us a fresh approach and new opportunities to promote the fantastic facilities we have here.”
Established in 2019, The Bucket Pros have been providing their industry-leading methods across Scandinavia, where over 40 golf clubs have taken advantage of the essential ‘Boost Method’ training. Aside from increasing revenue and profitability, The Bucket Pros also gain an understanding of current positioning and provide solutions to help achieve the true potential of the driving range. The implementation of this is then incorporated into the subsequent training.
“Working through our first training session with La Cala Resort and PG Golf and Sports Academy has been a fantastic opportunity for us to bring our expertise and strategies to two unique venues,” said Calle Carlsson, European sales director for The Bucket Pros. “Whilst each have their own offering, our principles, management techniques and best practice methods are applicable to both, and will help the clubs take control and begin driving revenue and profitability. We look forward to continuing our training program and seeing the results at these venues.”
