What Do You Order from the #GolfChat Bar?
Used to own a Brewpub, so I love local Craft Beers, but I won’t turn down a Tanqueray 10 & Tonic either….
How Did You Get Into Golf?
Went to work for Landmark here in Okc in 1987 and played my first complete 18 holes of Golf on Oak Tree National. Worked at Landmark properties Kiawah Island Inn & LaQuinta Golf & Tennis Resort. That pretty much got me hooked on Golf. Best thing is that my wife of over 30 years LOVES the sport too. Lots of Couples Golf Trips!
What Are You Doing in Golf and Why?
After owning my own Brewpub(that had had Golf Simulators to play), I ended up running a Country Club for 4 1/2 years. I saw so many Clubs stuck in a time warp, resistant to change. So I decided to start my own Consulting Company to help Clubs grow Membership. I help with Membership Marketing Strategy & Social Media. I help grow Brand awareness by making Clubs relevant through Fun Social Events.
Favorite #GolfChat Topics?
I Love the OKC Thunder and have been know to get on rants about bad officiating.
It also drives me crazy to see Golf Clubs that do the same thing, year after year, yet expect different results and always have an excuse of why things aren’t better.
Favorite Golf Quote?
“Gambling is illegal at Bushwood, and I never slice!” Judge Smails
Favorite Golf Destination and Why?
I would love to go back to Kiawah Island or to the Dessert in Palm Springs. Landmark also used to own Carmel Valley Ranch Resort, but I never got to go there. That would also be a great trip. Really anywhere there is great golf and good friends.
How Do You View the State of the Game of Golf?
Golf has to continue to evolve to attract the Young people. Whatever TopGolf is doing, more Golf courses and Clubs need to do. Fun has to be part of the Fabric of the Future!
