When I started my fellowship at the Wisconsin PGA, I did not realize how much of a rewarding experience it would be. I have had the opportunity to be fully immersed in a Section's Operations and have learned so much from this experience. As a fellow, I have had the pleasure of writing an article for pga.com! Check out the latest feature and my published work, "' There is a Space For Us in This Industry': A First-Person Perspective on the Power of PGA WORKS"!

Shout out to the great work done by Jeff Blunden and the team at Golf Business Advisory Services in releasing their recent report - Governance Standards in Australian Golf Clubs. This made me pause, reflect and write my thoughts in this blog post on the progress we have made at Lonsdale Links in improving our governance capability in recent years. https://lnkd.in/gwwCpvu8

Proud to be part of an industry that generates jobs, commerce, economic development and tax revenues to communities across the nation. Proud to champion an industry that promotes a physical, active lifestyle and positive mental health. According to the American Golf Industry Coalition's latest Golf Impact Report, golf impacts nearly two million Americans whose livelihoods directly or indirectly depend on it. The total economic impact of golf in America is estimated at $102 billion, serving 45 million golfers (11% of the U.S. population) and impacts 1.65 million jobs across the country. We spent last week at our Nation's Capital telling this story to congressional leaders and policy-makers as part of the 16th Annual National Golf Day. If you're not an active member of the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) you're not seeing the full picture. NGCOA Members are among the most thoughtful and successful golf course owners and operators in the business. Join us, it just makes sense. https://lnkd.in/gC4EDyqX

At face value, this video might look like a passionate football manager reflecting on a game, questioning decisions made by match officials (referees, VAR etc). But, look a bit deeper - it is about the divide that exists between the East and West. It's that feeling of being an outsider because of where you live. People have a preconceived idea of who you are based on where you are from. And then there is the feeling of disenfranchisement, the reality is we don't have the same access to things as other areas do. Growing up in South West Sydney, I understand this feeling well. Whenever I'd go to a public speaking competition held at private schools in Sydney's east. When I went to Sydney University. Even at some of my previous jobs. The A-Leagues have an opportunity to shine a spotlight on all the beauty the west has to offer. As Marko Rudan articulated, our community is culturally diverse, passionate, ambitious - we add so much value to the country as a whole. Football can unite the community and can be the platform to exhibit the best of our community too. 👉 This means the way we talk about our communities in the media, how we call out language that is harmful, the standards we hold everyone too (no double standards) and make sure we have different perspectives at decision making tables. Macarthur FC and Western Sydney Wanderers are a beacon of hope for football loving kids in the west but also too an example of the kind of quality you can expect to find in our growing suburbs. (P.S. GO THE BULLS!!) https://lnkd.in/g3Rdss-h

In case you missed this great article!

Augusta National is far more than a golf club, and it's far more than the site for one of the world's leading sporting events. Indeed, it is a one-of-its-kind organization that exemplifies excellence across a multitude of disciplines.  As I departed from Augusta over the weekend, I reflected on this special place that Jim Nanz aptly described on television as "a tradition unlike any other." (Augusta subsequently trademarked this phrase). Below are three observations that struck me as fundamental to Augusta's remarkable success. ✅  Attention to detail. At Augusta, every detail is attended to. From the perfect fairways, where not a single blade of grass appears out of place, to the spotless stands and the staff's service, nothing is overlooked. ✅  A vision unlike any other. Augusta was born in 1932 out of the dauntless vision of Bobby Jones (then an iconic US golfer) and British golf course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie to be a leading national golf course that would host world-class competitions. The club's commitment to being the best is reflected in everything you see—from television coverage to positioning attendees as "patrons" rather than spectators to the club's blue-chip membership. ✅  Long-term decision-making. Augusta does not play for short-term wins. It is invested in long-term value creation and a fundamentally different product than other tournaments. It executes for the long term with unwavering commitment. The famous 330-yard Magnolia Lane that extends from the entrance gate to the clubhouse was paved in 1947, yet the large magnolia trees that line both sides of the road date to the late 1850s. Anchored in tradition but embracing change with cutting-edge technology and analysis—that, to me, is what makes Augusta great. If you have not visited the Masters, I would encourage you to do so—even if it is only to study the remarkable Augusta National institution. #AugustaNational #Golf #Excellence #MagnoliaLane #Tradition
