Time will tell... #digitalmarketing

Following the success of SF Hoops, Brett Wischow & I are branching out to create a new league in a new sport. Introducing SF Links, where great folks from all walks of tech come together to play 9 holes of golf and enjoy the most incredible-yet-frustrating sport in the world. Golf can sometimes be an intimidating sport. It's hard to get good at, it can be time consuming, finding the right group isn't easy, and booking tee times can be difficult. We're solving all of that: 🆕 Our commissioners are less-than-stellar golfers and don't care if you're a pro or a noob. ⛳ We will play 9 holes (~2 hours) once every other week, totaling 7 rounds over 14 weeks with a masters-style tournament at the end 4️⃣ We will match you with a different foursome every round, allowing you to get to make new friends and meet people in tech who just want to play a fun round of golf without pretense ⏲ We're booking the tee times for everyone. All you need to do is show up at your designated time We're capping SF Links at 80 people to allow for 20 foursomes a week. Dues are $120. If you'd like to join, feel free to message me or Brett for the league details. If you have any friends you'd like to bring into the league, let us know or have them reach out to us directly. Signups end on May 24th or whenever we get to 80 members - whichever comes first. I'll link the SF Links website in the comments. Hope to see you on the links!

What You Didn’t Know About Augusta National Golf Club? (The US Masters, April 11-14, 2024) Cheapest tickets for each of the three practice rounds are going for just over $1,200 with individual day tournament passes starting between $2,000 and $2,500. The 4-Day pass gets you access to all four of the tournament rounds. Membership is strictly by invitation: there is no application process. In 2004, USA Today published a list of all the current members. Membership is believed to cost between $100,000 and $300,000 and annual dues were estimated in 2020 to be less than $30,000 per year. Masters tickets are considered the second-hardest to obtain in sports, trailing only the Super Bowl. Tickets — or badges — are cheap if you are lucky enough to be a patron or win the annual lottery which opened on June 1. If you don't get tickets directly from Augusta National, be prepared to spend thousands. Augusta National Golf Club is a private club and is only accessible to club members and their guests. The public may visit the course only during the Masters Tournament and only with the proper ticket or badge.

In 2023, a record-breaking 3.4 million people played on a golf course for the first time! 🏌️♂️⛳ The industry has seen over 10 consecutive years with more than 2 million beginners, and the past four years have topped 3 million. Before the recent surge driven by the pandemic, the highest recorded number of first-time players was 2.4 million in 2000, coinciding with Tiger Woods' peak popularity. Off-course golf experiences like entertainment venues have become crucial entry points, helping newcomers gain confidence before hitting the greens. However, retaining and converting these beginners into regular players remains a significant challenge for the industry. #GolfBeginners #IndustryTrends 🌟 Source - @NGF - National Golf Foundation

Where are my golfers? I’m excited for this event…you know I specialise in leadership training but did you know there are SO many similarities between golf and being a leader? Playing golf has taught me so much about leadership! 🏌️♂️ Just like in golf, being a great leader means staying focused, being patient, and thinking strategically. Here are a few lessons golf has reinforced: 1. **Preparation is Key**: Just as I practice my swing, leaders must prepare for meetings and projects. 2. **Adaptability**: Weather changes on the course, and business conditions change too. Adapt and keep moving forward. 3. **Patience and Resilience**: Not every shot lands where you want it. Learn from mistakes and stay resilient. Both golf and leadership are continuous journeys of improvement. Let's keep refining our skills and striving for excellence! See you in June at the Whitby Chamber of Commerce golf event at Royal Ashburn Golf Club #Leadership #Golf #ContinuousLearning #Resilience #leadershiptraining #teetime #supportlocal #chamberofcommerce #businessowner #whitby

Nick Dunlap was the first amateur to win a PGA event since 1991 But he’s not allowed to collect the $1.5 million prize The 20-year-old golfer had a historic victory this past weekend making him the first amateur to win an event since Phil Mickelson in 1991. But due to PGA rules, amateurs aren’t eligible to receive any prize money. In a world now filled with NIL deals, they have to come up with a new solution for this problem. A potential solution: an escrow program When amateur golfers win monetary prizes, the money could be placed in an escrow account instead of being paid directly to them. This account would hold the funds until the golfer turns pro. Obviously, there are many other legal and tax complications that come with this. But depriving young golfers of life-changing money isn’t a way to attract them to the sport. Some may say, “Well, he’ll make that money when he goes on the tour.” However, winning in golf is one of the hardest things to do, and missing out on the money may force amateurs to turn pro before they are ready. With the advancement in technology, advanced stats, and more, the game of golf has experienced a significant youth movement. Dunlap won’t be the last to do this, so a solution must be found sooner rather than later. #sportsbiz
