The beating heart of the club is the course, which is readily walked, and beckons you to finish 18 and head straight back to the first tee to tee it up again. Brampton Golf Club—private golf, as it was meant to be.

Today’s unpredictable economy causes many successful leaders to refocusresources on core business activities and markets. But, focusing solely on core business competencies has a serious risk: companies become reluctant to invest in new products, new markets or new processes, often leading to drastic drops in revenue and profitability.
