Augustine Golf Course PR and Marketing #2

The fact that I have to think all the way back to June just blows my mind because I feel like we were just there! It came and went so fast.

Work in June:

The start of June was great! With the increase of tournaments and summer weddings start opening up Tracey and I got busier and busier. When not working on Sales and Marketing, I helped Tracey with the little things around the course. 

She just acquired a new position at the course being the Head of Food and Beverage Department. Her job now entails being in charge of the whole kitchen plus staff along with now booking and dealing with special events that people would like to be held at the course. She does the job of three people, and without a doubt she does a fantastic job with what little background she has in it.

 She was the reason why I loved coming to work every day and still hung around after I was off the clock. Being able to come to a job that you like to do is great. The joke around the course is that I’m Tracey’s “mini me”, and honestly I took pride in that because I knew that I could never do as good as a job as she does. If someone had a question or needed help and couldn’t find her they came to me, and I was able to redirect them on what to do. I learned that all from her. Working with her and knowing what she likes and how she likes it done is the key to a good work environment and knowing what needs to be done without being told or asking what to do.

When it came to promoting Tracey put me right to work making flyers to put on the websites and all over the club house promoting Happy Hours and Brunch which occurred all the time!  

Among not only doing busy work on the computer, we had multiple meetings with brides that I was able to sit in and Tracey asked my opinion on certain details and what we should do in regards to making things up to the bride’s expectations. We were able to go above and beyond what the brides wanted because we wanted to make her day as special as possible.

With all the crazy on having to get every thing down for wedding without missing certain times and what needed to be done when on the day of, Tracey and I got created. We came up with binders that I put together check list and filling in the details of the weddings. The list containing items like:

·      When the wedding is

·      # of people attending

·      Who was catering/what is the meal/what time is served

·      Champagne toast/ are we providing

·      What time are vendors coming

·      What color linens/are we providing

And so much more but I won’t bore you with the details. So much goes into wedding and I was able create those pages so the staff know what they should be doing at all times so they don’t have to be directed constantly. Honestly, the book was a success I made two copies each containing tall the information needed for the big day!

I was lucky enough to not go through all the details and set up for each wedding and events, but I was able to work them too. I was able to see everything come together from the beginning to end which made it all worth it to me to see all the hard work come to life.  Along with working with some great friends along the way!

Up next the final month July!
