Last week we ventured out to the Tennessee HIMSS Chapter annual golf outing and sponsored the putting contest! We were joined by Eric Passon and Rachel Askew for what we called social golf. I think we all agreed that the conversation was better than our score.
Thank you to Tiffany Madigan and Justin Mooneyhan as well as the rest of the team for an incredible event.
If more companies actually took steps to "grow the game" instead of just repeating the line over and over again, we would all be better for it. Golf consumers are starting to see through those empty words. Here is a simple equation:
More golfers + more enjoyment = Increased demand across the industry
Let's push each other to do more things that make people feel welcome, break down the cost barriers, and help people learn about this complicated game.
Today, in honor of The Masters, we gave away our kid's golf clubs for FREE. We announced on Instagram and TikTok that from 8am-3pm we would be giving away kid's club for free at the GolfRoots HQ here in Dallas, Texas. Sure enough, folks were waiting in the parking lot before 8, and people streamed in throughout the day.
We love getting to share this game, and making golf accessible to kids is a great way to do it. Thank you to the members at our Partner Courses who make this possible.
Stay tuned, there may be more to come in this space!
Scottie Scheffler's wife, Meredith, did not join him in Augusta this weekend because she is pregnant with their first child.
On Saturday, it was reported that if she went into labor prior to him teeing off on Sunday, he would withdraw from the Masters and forfeit his chance at a second green jacket. At that point, he was leading the field at (-7).
If you are not a golf fan, I'll spoil the surprise for you: Scottie finished the tournament at (-11) on Sunday, becoming a Masters champion for the second time in 3 years.
I read many, many comments that called out how foolish this would have been. But the one that stood out to me most was this:
"He'll be a dad for decades, but his kid will have to live with the guilt of causing his dad to lose the Masters for his whole life."
When your identity is rooted in what you do and your accomplishments, I can see how that comment rings true.
Scottie's identity is found in something much greater than a green jacket. Much greater than his accomplishments. It is rooted in Christ Jesus and His finished work upon the cross, defeating Satan, Sin, and Death.
Amazing perspective by Scottie on this Monday morning. Watch here. The question that produces this answer is asked around the 6:10 mark of the video. The entire press conference is well worth your time.
