And Because it'sBI/V4,Sponsored by Coif Course News,Golf Course Expo MeansBusiness for You!THE PUBLIC-ACCESS GOLF INDUSTRY COMES TOGETHER AT GOLF COURSE EXPO, THE ONLY NATIONAL TRADESHOW AND CONFERENCE FOR SUPERINTENDENTS, MANAGERS, OWNERS, OPERATORS AND DEVELOPERS OFPUBLIC-ACCESS GOLF FACILITIES-DAILY-FEE, SEMI-PRIVATE, RESORT, AND MUNICIPAL COURSES.IWRegister Today to be Part of this National Event for Public-Access Golf Facilities Gain Insights f r o m Keynote SessionsAs the nation's First Family of public-access golf, the Dyes are uniquelyqualified to key-note Golf Course Expo. They are right in the middle ofgolf's fastest growing market. During the keynote session, they will discuss thebroad range of development issues in public-access golf courses.Patriarch Pete—whose global reputation for design innovation made possibleand profitable the development of high-end daily-fee courses—will discussthe future of this member-for-a-day genre, including the importance ofdesigning and marketing courses to meet client and competitive needs.Pete, P.B., Alice, and Perry DyeAlice Dye, slated to serve as president of the American Society of Golf CourseArchitects in 1996, will discuss her professional passion: sound design ofmultiple tees, a consideration of paramount importance to public-access courses aiming to accommodate the full spectrumof golfing skills.As the designer of numerous daily-fee courses in the highly competitive markets of Florida and the South Carolina coast,P.B. Dye speaks from experience on the need to identify market niches and design accordingly in areas densely populatedwith golf courses. After designing and building courses all over Asia-Pacific, Perry Dye has returned to these shores andturned his attention to the burgeoning municipal course market. He will speak on a subject often troubling to municipalconcerns: Positioning town- and city-owned facilities to compete with privately owned competitors.Management giant Club Corporation International, and Robert Dedman need no introduction—it hasmore than 260 golf courses under its direction. As founder of ClubCorp, Robert Dedman Sr. haswitnessed and influenced the dramatic changes in golf course management for nearly 40 years.However, until 1984 ClubCorp was known primarily as an operator of private golf clubs.It is true that for its first 25 years, ClubCorp built the largest private club client portfolio in thebusiness. But Robert Dedman has always demonstrated the ability to identify trends and act onthem before the competition. As long ago as 1979, ClubCorp realized the game was changing.Public-access golf was beginning to dominate new course development and they, under RobertDedman, wouldn't be left behind.Robert Dedman SrSPONSORED BYGOLF COURSETHE NEWSPAPER FOR THE GOLF COURSE INDUSTRYWhen daily-fee and resort development began to outpace private projects in the 1980s, ClubCorpformed separate divisions dedicated entirely to the daily-fee and resort markets to meet the specialmanagement needs of public-access facilities. GolfCorp (founded in 1979)and Club Resorts (1984) now account for one-third of the ClubCorp course holdings.At Golf Course Expo, Dedman will discuss how the public-access development boom (two out of every three courses arenow open to the public) has affected efficient facility management. He will also offer his vision of the future, specificallyhow the breakneck pace of public-access development will only increase competition, making management innovation thetop priority for owners and operators looking for an edge.Join these exhibitors at the Expo and learn what's new, discover products and servicesto help you, and evaluate vendors of leading companies and organizations including:Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. # A.E.
