From Theodore Comstock:
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much my wife, Terry, and I enjoy the golfing experience at Plum Creek Golf Course. We have played at Plum Creek many times, both before and after Foresight Golf has managed the property. I can tell you from those experiences that the difference is like night and day. Foresight has taken the golfing experience at Plum Creek to a new level. From arrival in the parking lot (where you are greeted by very helpful individuals that assist with loading your clubs on a cart), to the checkin at the Pro Shop (where trained professionals assist in a very friendly and extremely hellpful manner with anything that is needed to have an enjoyable round), to the excellent maintenance of the course (demonstrated dramatically by green fairways and greens even in drought type conditions), Plum Creek consistently exceeds expectations. In short, this is a premier course, and is an unbelievable value in the Austin area. I want to compliment you and your staff at Plum Creek, as well as the fine management of Foresight Golf in general, for making such a fine golfing experience available at such a modest cost. Best wishes for continued success.
From Kyle Andrews:
In reference to the Regional Boys and Girls Golf Tournaments that were held last week (4.27.11) in Corpus Christi at Gabe Lozano and Oso Beach golf courses:
I have been directly involved with those tournaments for the last 12 years and I was extremely impressed with how different the golf courses looked and played, and how professionally the tournaments were run. The Head Pros and all the assistants at both courses were typical Foresight employees. They were friendly, professional, and very "junior golf-friendly" people. I have played at all of the Foresight courses in an around San Antonio, and they are by far the best! Not only the employees, but the courses themselves are second to none in the San Antonio area. I tell you that, to say this: The move to Foresight management is a win-win for Corpus Christi golfers. The two golf courses did not even look like the same golf courses we played just last year. I am not running anyone down for what used to be, I am only congratulating what is now. Kino Rios did another outstanding job running the tournament, but his job was surely made easier by the conditions of the golf courses , and the very helpful staff that he worked with at both courses. I just wanted to express my opinion about a FIRST CLASS organization that has taken those two courses and made them very competitive courses with other options in the Coastal Bend. We hope to be back again next year.
From Ruben Garza:
There have been some outstanding Caller-Times articles written of late starting with the elation shown by the mayor and city council about the necessary changes proposed by Ron Olson, new city manager. The new "set of eyes" immediately noted deficiencies in many city departments but he could not find fault with our two municipal golf courses. The city owned up to the fact that they knew nothing about running golf courses so the sought out the professionals - Foresight Golf. Cefe Valenzuela wrote a recent letter to the editor praising Foresight Golf and Head Golf Professional, Peter Palacios, for going above and beyond in assisting the Pan American Golf Association in one of their children programs. The July 6 Caller-Times front page story was very informative (but lacking in many areas) but hopefully it stirred up interest in this wonderful sport. It seems that our two courses, Oso Beach and Gabe Lozano Golf Center, are "suddenly" going to become profitable. Indeed, it is hard for me to believe that this turnaround developed overnight and I suggest to our Council to become proactive and learn from the pros.
The bottom line is that we can be proud of our two golf courses and there is no reason to make expensive out-of-town travel. As far as financial losses due to retail sales, if golfers do not show up, sales cannot improve. the improvement is in the management and as far as the number of rounds played in years past, that number is somewhat bogus as some golfers did not pay the green fees and some retired city employees played free because it was in their contract. Thanks, Mayor and City Council, for getting this one right!
