NORDIC GROUP INTERNATIONAL OFFERS $500 COMMISSION

FOR HELPING CREATE GOLF COURSE WINTER OPERATIONS

Trails consulting firm Nordic Group International (NGI: www.nordicgroupinternational.com) is introducing a program where snow enthusiasts can receive a $500 (U.S.) commission for successful referrals to potential new clients, especially golf courses.

Golf courses in Snowbelt regions of the U.S. and Canada are prime candidates for becoming profitable in winter. (Almost 300 courses in North America already have groomed trails.)

Jonathan Wiesel, NGI’s president, said that “Folks who recreate in the snow – and especially those in the business – are uniquely qualified to help us find golf courses that can develop winter operations. They understand the benefits of cross country skiing and snowshoeing.”

Snow-based benefits for golf courses include:

• Revenue opportunities
• Retaining key staff
• New community recreational opportunities
• Enhanced golf course and real estate values
• Increased asset utilization
• Turf protection

Key NGI services include:

• Market and economic feasibility studies (for both new and existing sites)
• Operations evaluations
• Planning/design for winter recreation
• Recreation and guest services programming
• Snowmaking and lighting plans
• Turf management strategies

What NGI proposes is simple… but potentially vital to the growth of Nordic skiing and perhaps golf in North America. We will pay the $500 commission to anyone who refers a golf course to us if that course becomes an NGI client. Your commission will be paid by check when NGI receives the initial project fee.

Referrers need to provide NGI with golf course information including a manager’s name, email, phone, and course location. You should contact us via email with your name and mailing address, and the date. This kind of referral takes very little time (figure two hours maximum). If successful, referrers will be making $250/hour.

High-potential golf courses will ideally have winterized clubhouses (for rental and retail), plus food and alcoholic beverage services. Lodging and real estate affiliations as well as close community relations are major plusses.  

You can contact NGI in Bozeman, Montana, USA ([email protected]). The same commission applies to inns and lodges, hotels, guest ranches, communities/parks, alpine ski areas, four-season resorts, and corporate landowners.
