ASGCA President Predicts Remodelling Surge in 2002
Chicago, Ill. -- January 12, 2002 -- Remodeling will take precedence over flashy new courses in 2002, representing a shift from the new-course boom of the last five years, says Damian Pascuzzo, president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA).
Pascuzzo says more courses are finalizing remodeling plans each year, ranging from small projects to correct minor problems to entire makeovers.
"The trend is across the board," Pascuzzo says. "Our members report that remodeling work on the drawing boards represents a true cross-section of the country’s golf courses — country clubs, public courses and municipally owned facilities."
For a handy round up of recent trends in the golf course design and construction industry, visit ASGCA's "Trends" page. ASGCA's Remodeling University course was designed to educate golf course decision makers on the basics of course remodeling, including budgeting, the remodeling planning process, and the roles and responsibilities of golf course architects, superintendents, builders and others. The program has reached more than 800 attendees in events around the country.
The next scheduled Remodeling University events are:
February 1, 2002 - San Antonio, Texas at the CMAA World Conference on Club Management 2002
February 8, 2002 in Orlando, Florida at the 2002 GCSAA Conference & Show
