Yarrow Golf & Conference Center: Economic Advantages of Using Technology in Golf Management
Abstract
The summer of 2007 I worked for a hospitality management company named
Hotel Investment Services. My position was located at a property called Yarrow Golf
&Conference Center. I was assigned as an Intern to the Director of Operations. This
position allowed me to get a real life glimpse at how a business is run and operated from
top to bottom. Although Kalamazoo College has a good Economics and Business
department, no particular class could quite prepare me for the array of different problems,
and situations that rose during the job.
A more detailed explanation of my job responsibilities, including tasks and
valuable knowledge gained will be located in the Experiential Description part of this
text. The Connections Essay portion of this text will entail research I have found on how
Yarrow Golf & Conference Center could significantly improve its proficiency and
effectiveness using computers, and computer software.
