Interactive Research on Issues Affecting Private Clubs

About Club Trends™
Over the years we have seen many newsletter and monthly reports written about a variety of issues facing clubs, managers, Boards and members. We have even written our share on these issues. Our concern is that we find no in-depth analysis or research on the various challenges facing clubs. In addition, more and more self-appointed experts from hotel/resort executives are telling us how they think truly private clubs should be run. Most of these viewpoints only see private clubs through golfers’ eyes.
Thus, we at McMahon Group decided to do something and to utilize our significant survey research and consulting experience from over 26 years of service to private clubs of all types. In McMahon's Club Trends™, we are providing an in-depth, research publication patterned after the Harvard Business Review.

"Applause! Applause! I just finished reading the recent edition of McMahon’s Club Trends™. Very well done and I will say right on track. I was very impressed with your first edition and wanted you to know that our management staff, Board and membership committee’s key focus this year has been member retention. I was thrilled to say that on the front page of your magazine. Attracting new members is a challenge but member retention is important because “they are already here!” Give them what they want, service them above and beyond and they will stay. We must not lose focus of this. Once again, great articles.”
