Transcription

Concept:
The AWGA Created and introduced the GEM (golf endorsed by members) program in the fall of 2011 for
the purpose of selecting the premiere golf courses in Arizona for play by women, and to give a public voice
to the women who, we feel, can play a pivotal role in developing the women’s golf market. The program
had to:




Provide ability for the entire membership to participate
Be labor neutral and automated
Be objective in how the opinions were gathered
Objectively compare one course to the other in terms of how women felt about their experience
No golf course can earn a recommendation except by providing a great experience for women
AWGA members are eligible and encouraged to submit their opinions about the golf courses they play to:


Create an objective list of courses in Arizona most highly recommended by women for women
Provide feedback, on an as requested basis, to the golf courses as to what the women like, don’t
like, and suggest as ways to improve their service to women.
Program details:







Included golf courses must be a member of the AWGA (at least one tee with a current USGA Course
Rating for women issued by the AWGA, causing inclusion in AWGA score posting database)
Survey evaluates:
o Customer service
o Club house facility
o The golf course
o Overall value
Survey by members through AWGA website
A mathematical formula compiles points
Once “endorsed” the GEMTM logo appears on the AWGA website golf course page.
Only positive responses and the endorsement are shared.
History
o First surveys collected December 2011
o Official launch date January 1, 2012
o First GEM courses announced January 2013
o Annual survey period is November 1 through October 31
o We are in our third survey year
Concept:
The AWGA Created and introduced the GEM program in the fall of 2011 for the purpose of selecting the
premiere golf courses in Arizona for play by women, and to give a public voice to the women who, we feel,
can play a pivotal role in developing the women’s golf market. In order to do that, we felt that the program
must meet the following conditions:






Any program presented by the AWGA must provide the ability for the entire membership to
participate
It should be very labor neutral for ongoing management, so had to be automated
The term “women friendly” was inadequate. A name was needed which would signify the strength
that a recommendation made by the body of women golfers in Arizona would have.
It had to be completely objective in how the opinions were gathered
It had to be done in a way that could objectively compare one course to the other in terms of how
women felt about their experience playing there
No golf course could be able to earn a recommendation except by providing a great experience for
women golfers, from a woman’s perspective. Women “own” the evaluation.
Over the next two years, the Board and staff of the AWGA developed what has become known as the
GEMTM (golf endorsed by members) program.
It is a program through which AWGA members are eligible and encouraged to submit their opinions about
the golf courses they play, for the purposes of:


Creating an objective list of courses in Arizona which are the most highly recommended by women
for women to play.
Providing feedback, on an as requested basis, to the golf courses as to what the women like, don’t
like, and suggest as ways in which to improve their service to women.
Program details:

In order to be included, a golf course must be an active member of the AWGA (must have at least
one tee with a current USGA Course Rating for play by women issued by the AWGA, which causes
them to be included in our score posting database)








A thorough evaluation survey has been developed by the AWGA, with questions designed to
evaluate the following areas:
o Customer service
 Outside service
 Pro shop service
 Pro shop merchandise
 Food and beverage service
o Club house facility
o The golf course itself
 Practice facility
 Availability and accessibility of restrooms
 Beauty of design and landscaping
 Course conditions
 Playability, challenge, and enjoyment
o Overall value of the experience
o Additional questions will be asked to compile data that may be valuable for the golf courses
and/or the AWGA.
The survey can only be taken through the AWGA website, and only by members of the association,
either through a member club, or those who join as individuals.
A mathematical formula has been devised to apply points to the evaluation process.
Once a golf course is “endorsed” the GEMTM logo will appear on the AWGA website golf course
page. By clicking on the logo, members of the association can view certain details of the responses.
Non-members will see the endorsement, but no details.
Only positive responses and the endorsement will be shared.
Not so positive responses and data will be shared with the golf course staff as requested.
History
o First surveys collected December 2011
o Official launch date January 1, 2012
o First GEM courses announced January 2013
o Annual survey period is November 1 through October 31
o We are in our third survey year
Ongoing promotions of the program include;
o Annual publication of “Arizona GEMTM” courses
o Regular features on awga.org of the most highly recommended courses
o Authorization for Arizona GEMTM courses to use the logo on their websites and in printed
material.
o Newsletter, magazine, newspaper announcement of annual selection of GEMTM courses
o GEM Courses are recognized at AWGA Annual meeting and recognition banquet each
January.

ON THE COVER
BY JACK TALMAGE
Associate Publisher
W
e have all, at one time or
another, asked our friends to
recommend a golf course. When
they reply that this or that course is a “real
gem”, we are not certain exactly what they
mean. Their evaluation, after all, is fairly
subjective. What in their opinion are the
qualities that make it “a gem”? Is it the course
condition, the “playability” of the course, the
service of the staff, the quality of the
cheeseburger and the temperature of the beer,
or even something as simple, yet important as,
the availability and cleanliness of the
restrooms? We all have criteria that we use to
judge a golf course and hopefully that
judgment is not influenced by how well you
played and the score you shot. It is not the golf
courses fault that you had a bad round after
all.
Unfortunately, up until now, there has been no
real, unbiased system in place to judge a golf
course in the state of Arizona. While the advice
of friends can be valid, it may not always
encompass the things that are important to
you. Thankfully, the Arizona Women’s Golf
Association (AWGA) has created the GEM
program to evaluate golf courses and the total
golf experience that can be found at the
wonderful facilities that we are blessed with.
GEM stands for “Golf Endorsed by Members”,
and while the list is an objective list of courses in
Arizona that are recommended by women for
women to play, the qualities that make a good
golf facility are appreciated by all players. No
matter what your gender, I believe that we all
appreciate the critical eye and observant ability
of women. Guys….you know you agree with
this. The ladies know what is best and they are
usually, if not always, right!
The AWGA wanted to develop a system of
evaluation to give a public voice to the women
who they felt are the keys to successfully
developing the women’s golf market, something
key to growing the game…an initiative
important to anybody who is involved in golf,
from players to course operators alike. The
term “women friendly” was inadequate. A
name was needed that would signify the
strength that a recommendation made >>>

For a golf course to be included in the evaluation
it has to be an active member of the AWGA,
which means it must have at least one tee with a
current USGA Course Rating for play by women
issued by the AWGA. After that, it is up to the
course management to provide the elements
deemed to be important to women players in
particular, most of which are certainly important
to every player as well. The evaluation survey
can only be taken through the AWGA website,
and only by members of the association. The
AWGA provides information and a handicapping
system for their members, complete with posting
access through the association website. Whenever
a member posts her score for handicap purposes,
she is asked to complete the survey. If the score is
posted at the golf course she is conveniently
reminded to do so via an email sent to her home
computer. The survey is a very thorough
evaluation with questions designed to target the
following areas:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Customer service; outside player assistance,
golf shop, food and beverage.

by the body of women golfers in Arizona would
have. It had to be completely objective in how
the opinions were gathered. It had to be done
in such a way that would objectively compare
one course to the other in terms of how women,
and subsequently all golfers, felt about their
experience playing there. Most importantly, no
golf course would be able to earn a
recommendation except by providing a great
experience, primarily to women golfers. Over a
period of two years, the Board and staff of the
AWGA developed what has become known as
the GEM (golf endorsed by members) program.
The results of those efforts are being published

how the program works and TA DA…….drum

Overall value of the experience
A mathematical formula has been devised to
apply points gathered from surveys taken.
Trust me, this is been analyzed and tested in
many ways. Each member can only submit an
evaluation of a particular course once every six
months, no ballot box stuffing here. There is a
minimum number of surveys required to
generate a score. The formula is designed so
that the golf course’s management can readily
affect the results by addressing issues that
generate a less than stellar result on the surveys.
The GEM is an annual designation, which should
give all courses plenty of time to make some
changes. That also provides for seasonal
variations in conditions.
What this means to the golf course and the golf
professionals that operate them is an
opportunity to attract the ever growing market
of women golfers….and the spouses, friends and
children who may accompany them. It is a
service provided by their existing female
customer base to receive valuable feedback
about what they like and what they think can
be done to enhance their playing experience at
the golf course. Feedback that can
consequently improve their product for all
players…and who doesn’t want to play the best.
With all that being said, the AWGA is happy to
announce the 22 statewide recipients of the
2013 GEM Designation.

The staff at The Highlands has a focus on treating all
members and guests the same, and that means with as
much friendly service and attention as is possible. The
250 women members have three groups with a lot of
events among them. Interesting to note that 65% of all merchandise sales are in ladies merchandise
when at least 65% of all play is male. The shop obviously knows who their best customers are.
The AWGA wanted to develop a system of evaluation to give a public
voice to the women who they felt are the keys to successfully

women’s association. All 220 women members of The

to the locker facilities, to the year round excellent condition of the course.
Haven Golf Course

The Haven, while a public course, treats all guests like
they were members of a club. Their motto is “inclusive,
not exclusive”. One of the qualities that got the Haven a
GEM designation is the instruction available from Ms.
Marvol Barhard, a top 100 instructor who has turned many a game around for all her students,
particularly the women.

Unlike a lot of desert courses, there are no forced carries

Desert Hills has a wonderful group of members who

membership fun and friendly. They treat members and
guests like very special people. Desert Hills also features one of the largest selection of Ladies
merchandise in green Valley.
that generate a less than stellar result on the surveys. The GEM is
an annual designation, which should give all courses plenty of time
to make some changes. That also provides for seasonal variations
in conditions.
What this means to the golf course and the golf professionals that
operate them is an opportunity to attract the ever growing market of
women golfers….and the spouses, friends and children who may

customer base to receive valuable feedback about what they like and
what they think can be done to enhance their playing experience at
the golf course. Feedback that can consequently improve their
product for all players…and who doesn’t want to play the best.
As you look at the list, we hope this provides a guide to golf
courses that should be on your must play list. It is interesting to
note that of the 22 courses that received the GEM designation, 7
are in the Southern Arizona area and 6 more are spread out over
Northern Arizona. Not to take away from the great courses and
clubs in the Valley of the Sun, but we should be very proud of this
fact. There are well over 200 golf courses in metropolitan
Phoenix/Scottsdale and less than 50 in Tucson and parts south,
you do the math. As a percentage of facilities that are favored by
the members of the AWGA, the courses in our neighborhood are
way ahead. To me it says the ladies of Southern Arizona really
care about their club or the courses they frequent…and they really,
really love their golf!

golf endorsed by members
Golf Endorsed by Members is an AWGA
member survey program that:
t inspires AWGA members to share their
experiences playing golf courses in Arizona
t measures those experiences against
experiences at other Arizona courses
t provides recommendations to fellow
women golfers as to the best places to play in Arizona, from a woman’s perspective
t delivers anonymous feedback for golf course owners and operators to enhance their
appeal and marketability to women golfers
Courses are evaluated on customer service, merchandise
availability, food & beverage, club house & facilities, course
conditions and playability for women.
Available to AWGA members only when you log into
eGolfBag to post a score or through special members only
portals on awga.org.
Evaluate your home course as well as courses where
you play as a guest or paying customer up to 2 times
yearly. Golf courses that score high enough on average
earn an annual GEM designation.
