Dear Arizona Golf Industry Members:
The National Golf Course Owners Association of Arizona (NGCOA Arizona) welcomes you to attend our upcoming meeting, “Insights on Food & Beverage,” which will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Monday, September 18 at McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale. Featuring several experts on food and beverage operations, the meeting will provide you with numerous takeaways and ideas for improving the profitability and success of your course’s food and beverage operations.
Feature presentations include:
Additionally, EZ Links will be on hand to demo the new NGCOA Arizona tee-time alternative, Golf4Arizona.com, and explain the features and benefits intended to provide courses with an option that protects their customer data, maintains rate integrity, and offers courses control over the booking process.
All attendees will also receive copies of the NGCOA Arizona “Guide to Running a Successful Golf Tournament,” a new tool being distributed to associations, charities, event planners, travel and convention bureaus, and chambers of commerce, and designed to promote more tournament business at NGCOA Arizona member courses.
For several years now, Arccos Golf has been helping amateur golfers lower their handicaps by delivering tour-quality shot-tracking data in real time. Now, Arccos wants to give amateurs the world’s smartest caddie.
As part of a new partnership with Microsoft Corp., Arccos is set to launch an innovative course management platform called the Arccos Course Analyzer. The system layers a user’s data on top of millions of data points to provide personalized recommendations for optimal strategy on almost every golf hole in the world. It’s essentially a caddie in the palm of your hand or on your wrist.
For those unfamiliar with the Arccos system, it consists of 14 ultralight sensors that attach to the grip of a player’s clubs. The sensors sync with the player’s smart phone or watch, recording every shot (completely unobtrusively) and delivering real-time data such as club distances and directional tendencies along with GPS mapping. For golfers who love to track their stats, it’s a must-have.
So how will the new course analyzer work?

NGCOA Arizona has reached a sponsorship agreement with The ORCA Report to provide member golf courses The ORCA Report for a significant discount from the retail price.
The ORCA Report is an acronym for:
The ORCA Report helps golf course owners and operators in three distinct ways:
NGCOA Arizona follows a similar sponsorship arrangement made in 2016 by The ORCA Report and NGCOA California.
“The ORCA Report is superbly aligned with the mission of NGCOA Arizona and allows the industry to have timely, accurate rounds and revenue data from public access golf courses in the state,” says ORCA Report co-founder and president Mike Loustalot. “This data helps NGCOA Arizona tell the story of performance in an accurate, timely way.”
The sponsorship agreement will provide The ORCA Report to NGCOA Arizona members at a 30% discount from retail price. It will also help grow the NGCOA Arizona member base by including a membership to NGCOA Arizona in the retail price of the report for those courses not currently members.
