Meet Gary Palis | Founder / Designer of Simply Golf

We had the good fortune of connecting with Gary Palis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gary, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?

Simply Golf is a clean and professionally run business that welcomes all people to visit and get better and try to play golf. It utilizes state-of-the-art technology with high tech simulators and high-speed and high definition cameras for those that want to see what their swing looks like. It has truly been setup and designed to insure that our guests have a great experience and want to come back.

We treat everybody with respect and we let them decide if they want to hit balls in a driving range environment, play a world famous golf course or view their own swing and also compare themselves with a professional tour player. We also supply everything a golfer needs to try the game from a beginners prospective to a scratch golfer. Golfers can also bring in their own clubs, or, if they want, use the clubs we have here which include all the tops makes and brands. Lessons are also available from 8 different instructors and can be booked online as well.

We also believe in giving back to the community and support veterans, local law enforcement and first responders. We support the local high schools and have had both the boys and girls teams in for free instruction and swing analysis. We support our local Chambers and have sponsored their local golf event by capturing the attendees swing and providing them a free swing analysis. We also have hosted a group from the Special Olympics and made a very positive and fulfilling experience for those members.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Simply Golf is designed for our customer, the golfer. We strive to make that experience beneficial and enjoyable. Those objectives and our philosophy comes before profit minded business incentives.

When the customer walks away, they take away their swing with them that they can view anywhere. This customer is our best reference and sales person that is why we strive to make their experience special.

Putting the customer first should be first and foremost in all business’ today but that is not always the case. At Simply Golf, this has always been the top priority and will continue to be the top priority and that is a big reason for our success as a business and in the community.

Was it easy – yes and no. Easy for the staff as working in a golf environment with people that like golf is always rewarding. Keeping the technology and equipment clean and running takes effort and discipline and can not be taken for granted.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

If I had a friend which we have had, I would certainly engage them in physical activities which would include golfing, ocean snorkeling, kayaking, biking and the ever popular pickleball. We would do something everyday and start our morning with some light exercise such as walking or biking and then play some golf in the afternoon.

We would then pick a nice place for dinner depending on what our pallets felt like that evening. I would try to keep our schedule flexible to allow for the weather condition or our interests.

I would certainly grab a foursome and play a round at Simple Golf and play one the many world famous course that Simply Golf offers.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

Simply Golf creation was the brainchild of Randy Palis. He was a decent golfer and wanted to get better. He researched and met with local business, realtors and people in the community. He felt and pushed and finally found a great spot in a high traffic area that had the right demographic.

Golf is a popular sport and most people can play or at least swing a club. Randy’s enthusiasm is to have somebody enjoy the game, make them better and find the right equipment for that them so they can have an enjoyable experience when playing the game.

Finally, we found a nice location and the build process began from the ground up. We took an undeveloped 1,600 square foot suite and converted it into a high tech teaching and playing environment for golfers of all levels. This included paint, turf, hitting mats, lights, projectors, screens, computers, camera’s, etc. Also, the overall appearance inside  gives the customer a relaxed feeling in a golf environment.

The local Chamber’s; Sea Ranch Center, Pompano Beach and Lauderdale by the Sea and their staff were also very instrumental and helpful getting the business launched, and helping to promote our Grand Opening.
