FEATURED SUCCESS STORIES
“I planned to go to Arizona State University to get a business degree when a friend convinced me to try out for a junior college golf team with him. The coach said I should play golf and that he’d pay for my school. I had never even played a tournament before then, but it ended up being one of the best choices I ever made. That’s where I really fell in love with the game."
“I worked full time in corporate finance for 22 years until the impact of the pandemic eliminated my position. Shortly after this, I happened to get an email about a seasonal job opening at a course my friends and I had played at quite a bit when we were younger. I got the job and I absolutely fell in love with it. There’s nothing better than being at a golf course all day."
“I knew I wanted to work in golf from a young age. I enjoyed the competitiveness of the sport, but I also loved the industry as much as the game. That led me to the New Mexico State University PGA Golf Management Program. From there, I became an assistant golf professional, head golf professional and director of golf. I enjoyed each and every day of it and didn’t see myself doing anything else."
“When I was 12 years old I started caddying and working in the back room at a small private club. There was a PGA professional there who took me under his wing a little bit and showed me what the business was all about."
