In 5 minutes we were having a chat on Facebook Messenger. By that time things were looking pretty gloomy for the industry, but we were discussing mainly the ideas of how to turn the crisis into a opportunity for the clubs, golfcourses and the whole industry. Ten months after that, we all know what a ride 2020 was in terms of the participation increase, numbers of rounds played and new players acquisition.
In the end I also had a chance to introduce very shortly our Bryson application that is able to digitize the training system in golf in each country. What else can you achieve during one evening with such a rubbish English from the middle of nowhere in the countryside of the Czech Republic?
