The Logansport golf course manager told the board on Oct. 8 that year‑to‑date financial results were up roughly 16 percent compared with the prior year (an increase the manager described as about $90,000), even as the course spends on capital and maintenance. The course completed green aeration and tee box work, hosted several tournaments and Special Olympics events, and has been prepping a new driving range target area.
The golf operation has installed indoor simulators and has been integrating simulator tee‑times into its booking software; the manager said simulator demand is seasonally dependent and that employee training on the new systems is ongoing. Marketing of simulator and other offerings has increased social media engagement and club merchandise inventory was refreshed, including centennial‑themed hats.
The manager reported several events hosted successfully this fall, including girls sectional tournaments, Special Olympics outings (21 teams for one event), and small private outings; the facility also provided community outreach such as cart rides for a local residential group. Staff noted plans for a fall par‑3 tournament and a simulator league, and said they have applied for a liquor license meeting with county authorities.
The board heard that staff are monitoring staffing impacts from simulator hours and will shoulder responsibilities initially to limit late shifts; the course manager said final year‑end financials will show how seasonal simulator revenue affects the operation.
No formal actions were taken on the golf report; board members thanked the golf staff for operations and outreach.
