Management Group to Oversee The Claw at University Of South Florida Golf Course

Sun Dome, Inc. has signed a five-year agreement with Golf Strategies, LLC to manage The Claw at USF golf course a Florida golf course, the two parties announced today. The agreement puts in place a seasoned management group to oversee The Claw for the first time since opening in 1968 and opens the door to improve the course, allow the USF golf coaches to focus on coaching and provide for both a top notch home course for the athletic teams and a great course for the community at the same time.

“We’re very excited about managing one of the best Florida golf courses in Tampa”, says Tom Wheary, President of Golf Strategies. “This course has a rich history and we (look forward to providing our broad knowledge of the golf industry to make this a Florida golf course that will make everyone proud.)”

Douglas White, CEO of Golf Strategies adds, “We understand the need to maintain a quality Florida golf club for the University, the golf programs and the golfing community and intend to improve the quality of the golfer’s experience. We are in the process of finalizing our strategy and look forward to providing an excellent golf course for the community”.

The operations change will allow Jim Fee and Susan Holt, (the men’s and women’s golf coaches) to concentrate full time on building their respective golf programs. Before the change, the coaches had dual responsibilities managing both their respective team and various aspects of golf course operations. “Our golf programs will be competing in their first full Big East Conference championship in April”, says Jim Fee, USF Men’s Golf Coach. “Like all other USF teams our goal is to build a nationally recognized winning program. We’re confident that Golf Strategies has the expertise to improve The Claw for the Tampa golfing community.”

Holt echoes Fee’s sentiments, adding, “This is an opportunity for the golf course to turn the corner, and I’m very excited about that opportunity. Golf Strategies track record indicates they will maintain a course that not only benefits the USF golf teams, but the Tampa Bay community at large.”
