New York Sports Club’s Post

The Memorial Day tournament officially kicks off at the wonderful Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio today. In a weekend that provides the opportunity for spectators to witness the world’s best golfers, I can’t help but think how golf has taught me invaluable life lessons that directly apply to my daily role in employee benefits consulting. I’m sure this is also a thought Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will have in their minds all weekend… All jokes aside, its important for us to apply lessons learned from things we enjoy to other passions we have in our lives. Here are a few lessons I’ve learned from the fairway that are just as relevant to the office: ⛳ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 & 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: The game of golf teaches the importance of developing a strategy and plan for each and every hole. Just as each hole provides a different approach, so does the development of a comprehensive benefit package that meets the needs of your population. At MB, our goal is to tailor customized solutions that address the unique challenges our clients face. 🏌♂️ 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Although we like to stay away from sand traps, trees and any body of water on the golf course… these obstacles present us with the instinctive ability to be adaptable. Likewise, decision makers must be aware and stay flexible with new regulations, industry trends, and any changes that may affect their employee population. 🏆 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: Many think the game of golf is an individual sport, but significant teamwork is required between a foursome in a golf outing or with a pro golfer and his or her caddy. The same holds true for the design, implementation and ongoing support of an organization’s employee benefit program. At MB, teamwork is at the forefront of everything we do and we’d love the opportunity to be a part of yours! Looking forward to a great tournament this weekend filled with excitement, exceptional golf, and maybe even a few lessons along the way! #TheMemorial #Golf #EmployeeBenefits #MB

I've been playing golf in Sussex for the last 7/8 years - I'm very often the only POC on the course and almost always the only POC at any corporate golf event. Some of the 'incidents' I've experienced over that time on reflection have been outright racism (don't call me Tiger Woods please, its boring now). Last week was the first time I have ever played without that narrative (because I arranged it) and it poses a big question. Where’s the Diversity in Golf? Corporate Golf is often seen as a cornerstone of corporate networking, but the lack of diversity is an issue that many are reluctant to address. Whether it's gender, race, or socioeconomic background, golf and particularly corporate golf events, remain strikingly homogenous. To Businesses and Golf Clubs: What Are You Doing About It? In a time where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are at the forefront of corporate values, it’s astonishing to see such little progress in the world of golf. How can we promote inclusivity in the workplace but exclude it from the very spaces where business relationships are built? Are you actively creating initiatives to diversify participation? Do you have programs to introduce golf to underrepresented communities? Are there mentorship opportunities within your corporate golf events for diverse employees? If not, why not? It’s time for businesses and golf clubs to step up and make meaningful changes. Diversity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a necessity for growth, innovation and true inclusion. The opportunity to transform the culture of corporate golf and make it a game for everyone is a challenge I'm not seeing anyone in Sussex really grab hold of. #DiversityInGolf #CorporateResponsibility #DEI #InclusiveGolf #GolfForAll John Lynch Kevan Smith Liam Ray DYKE GOLF CLUB LIMITED Mid Sussex Golf Club East Brighton Golf Club Horsham Golf Club Westhovegolf Brighton Golf England Golf Trust The Goodwood Group Mannings Heath Golf LEWES GOLF CLUB LIMITED WEST SUSSEX GOLF CLUB,LIMITED East Sussex National Golf Club HILLBARN GOLF CLUB LIMITED Worthing Golf Club (Links Road Golf Club Ltd) TPG Sports Events

Ring any bells in your role? Even if you don't play golf, this quote is totally relevant for many aspects in our work and life in general. For me, it's about how you deal with those bad shots? Do you keep replaying them in your head, reminding yourself of what you did and how you felt? Has it changed that shot in any way? No! BUT. You can learn from those poor shots (I am still learning in my golf game every time I'm in the lake, bunker, rough, woods and car park!), play a few more rounds, try some new techniques and get that confidence back up. That's why training should be continuous, always reminding yourself of the basics and mastering them, like all of the golf masters. ⛳️ So off you go. Fore right!!!!

FAI - The 'Football Accomodation Index' It must be a sure sign of a deeply broken economic system when even upper-flight footballers can't afford to live in the city that their team/employer is located in - must it not? If it's not financially feasible for footballers to stay in the city then what must it be like for catering, hospitality, and health care workers ? Are we destined to live in a nation of sporting 'franchises' like North America rather than teams which embody the identity and culture of their native towns or cities? #distributed #regenerative #wellbeingeconomy #doughnuteconomics 'The commercial success of the city of Inverness – which will always be our home – both as a tourist destination and a place to live, has led to very high prices for the accommodation we require to house players. In addition to these high costs which our competitors do not carry, the extremely limited housing stock in Inverness continues to be both a challenge and a huge factor working against us.'

VISIT WALES SHOULD NOT BE LISTING OR PROMOTING - 29 of 50 Highlander Reisen offers guided walking holidays that are not accredited with Visit Wales. Highlander Reisen has been reported as falling outside of the Visit Wales onboarding rules as part of my campaign to have Visit Wales deliver a 'level playing field'. HIGHLANDER REISEN REMAIN ON THE VISIT WALES WEBSITE My business, Wales Outdoors, which delivers daily events through Mountain Leader and Green Badge Guide qualified staff, in Wales, to tourists from across the globe, remains banned from the Visit Wales website. Visit Wales staff apply their not fit for purpose onboarding rules to Wales Outdoors but not to Highlander Reisen. Why do Visit Wales staff insist on platforming a business offering guided walks that has no accreditation through the Visit Wales Adventure Activity Assurance Scheme and why do Visit Wales staff refuse to explain this glaring discriminatory practice? This is a question I have been demanding an answer to since March of 2020.
