Whether it was managing golf course operations as a Superintendent or now heading his own consultant and search firm, Tyler Bloom has always been a problem solver.  After working at some of the top clubs in the country as an Assistant Superintendent, Tyler landed his own job as a Golf Course Superintendent and spearheaded some innovative ways to address the challenges of recruiting and retaining people to his team.  

And now in the nearly two years since he left his position to start his own business, Tyler Bloom Consulting, he’s quickly becoming a go-to resource in the areas of recruitment and workforce development.   Working with clubs for placements in  multiple roles across all departments, he’s been battling the current labor market, and in most cases, winning that battle.  

How can you implement some of his strategies to help your own recruiting efforts?  Let’s learn how.

The last time we heard from Kraig Kann on the Getting Better Now podcast, he was giving a keynote (or as he tells us he doesn’t do keynotes, he does experiences) at the Golf Business Network annual members meeting in late January 2020.  So much has changed since we sat there not knowing what we were about to endure, but one thing that’s consistent is Kraig’s message. Communication mattered then, and it matters just as much if not more now.

If you don’t know, Kraig was one of the original anchors on the Golf Channel and spent nearly 20 years as a staple on the channel’s golf coverage.  Following the Golf Channel he served the LPGA as their Chief Communications Officer where he took part in a resurgence of the tour’s visibility and success.  He now leads his own company, Kann Advisory Group where he coaches business leaders to clarify and amplify their message.

In this episode we get to dive deeper in a one on one conversation into the importance of personal branding for your career, why knowing your story is critical and what questions to ask yourself to understand your message and what you have to offer.  All of this and a whole lot more are detailed in Kraig’s award winning book, “Can You Get Our Attention?”.  I encourage you to pick up a copy.

Whenever you hear anyone talk about Caves Valley Golf Club, the first thing they’ll mention is the “experience”.  From the moment you arrive throughout your round and after, the emphasis is on creating a lasting memory that few other clubs can match.  

And throughout the club’s existence, until the end of 2021, a single individual was at the head of the golf experience at Caves.  Dennis Satyshur, known to some just as “Football”, spent 31 years fostering the original vision for the club, where in its early stages success was not a foregone conclusion.  Caves Valley was a new model at the time, committed to a National members, committed to caddies, committed to hosting Championships, committed to the community, to inclusion, to the game of golf, and committed to the “experience”.  

In retirement, Dennis will be joining the team at Golf Business Network as a consultant.

We pick up our conversation with Dennis discussing his recent departure, as well as their equally tenured General Manager, and passing the torch to Dennis’s faithful and highly capable Assistant and Head Professional, Matt Fuller.
