Cover (Page 1) Exceeding Expectations Golfers have flocked to the Pacific Northwest to experience Mike Keiser's vision of what golf ought to be. By Ed Sherman first met Mike Keiser about 10 years ago. We were paired together in an outing at the IMerit Club. Back then, all I knew about Keiser was that he co-founded Chicago-based Recycled Paper Greetings, a highly successful greet- ing card company, and proba- bly was financially secure many times over. Anyway, it was a fall day and when we arrived at the club, we were informed that there weren’t any caddies avail- able. The season was winding down. I thought we would just ride. I didn’t figure Keiser would be the kind to want to pull his bag in a cart, let alone carry it. So imagine my surprise when Keiser insisted he was up for walking. Right then and there, he threw his bag over his shoulder and marched down the first fairway. It was at that point that I knew Keiser was different. When I think of the essence of Bandon Dunes in Oregon and its astonishing success, I always go back to that round of golf we played at the Merit Club. 22 CHICAGO DISTRICT GOLFER COURTESY KEMPERSPORTS COURTESY After Bandon Dunes opened to rave reviews, Keiser added Pacific Dunes (above, 17th hole) and then Bandon Trails. Looking for the perfect property Golf is a simple game. Hit the ball, find it and hit the ball again. That’s the way the Scots did it back in the 17th century. And that’s how Keiser does it in the 21st century. When Keiser set out to build Bandon Dunes, located four hours from Portland on the coast of Oregon, he wasn’t looking to construct a mega resort where the focus would be on ameni- ties like a spa and a swimming pool with a waterfall. None of that stuff interested Keiser. Keiser’s goal was simple: He wanted to create a pure golf experience on an incredible piece of property. He wanted to build a memorable ode to the game. SCOTT A. MILLER/CDGA On the surface, none of his plan made sense. He wanted to build a links course on a piece of land covered with impen- etrable, prickly gorse. His location would be in a remote, eco- nomically challenged town, seemingly closer to oblivion than NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2006 23 Portland. The course also would be walking only in an age area. He never expected to do any more with the game than when carts increasingly have become a standard mode of walk to the first tee. transportation for 18 holes. And then to top it off, he chose a then 27-year old architect An introduction to the game whose sparse résumé featured designing only one modest Raised in the Buffalo, N.Y. area, he moved to Chicago in course in that golf hot spot, Katmandu. 1971 after a stint in the Navy.

  • GROW the GAME BEAT the COMPETITION
    Irish Ladies Golf Union PLAYER DEVELOPMENT VISION 2015 - 2018 GROW the GAME BEAT the COMPETITION WELCOME Message from Brege McCarrick (ILGU Chairman) The ILGU Vision, “Grow the Game, Beat the Competition”, sets out a challenging agenda for the union, players, coaches, staff and volunteers for the next three years. The Vision and associated Strategy will focus on increasing the numbers of young girls and ladies playing golf and providing a wide range of high quality player centred programmes by highly skilled coaches, staff and volunteers. To implement the Strategy successfully, we will need to work collaboratively with and have the support of golf clubs, the Confederation of Golf in Ireland, the Irish Sports Council, Sport Northern Ireland, the Irish Institute of Sport, Sports Institute of Northern Ireland, the Professional Golfers Association and most importantly our coaches, staff and volunteers. I would particularly like to acknowledge the ISC, SNI and the R&A for the much needed funding which they afford a number of our programmes. In this Strategy we are committed to delivering results with this funding by increasing the numbers of players and improving their skills development. I am confident that this Vision, through the associated Strategy and its Action Plan, will be delivered successfully by 2018. INTRODUCTION The landscape of Irish Ladies Golf has changed greatly over the past decade in relation to all aspects of the game from grass roots, retention through to development, performance and the professional game. Further changes are likely to occur in the coming years and the Board believe it is necessary to take a strategic approach to player development.
