Great little 9 hole short beginners course - my first hole-in-one

Diversity in golf is paramount for our industry's growth and sustainability. Embracing diversity fosters inclusivity, opening doors for new perspectives, talents, and innovation. It enriches the fabric of our sport, reflecting the varied backgrounds and experiences of our global community. By promoting diversity, we ensure golf remains relevant and accessible to all, breaking down barriers that may have hindered participation in the past. More importantly, diversity enhances the quality of our workforce, driving creativity and productivity. It also expands our market reach, attracting a broader audience and securing the future of golf as a thriving and dynamic sport. As leaders in golf management, we have a responsibility to champion diversity, creating environments where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to excel. #golf #golfbusiness #golfmanagement #diversityingolf #golfdiversity #diversityandinclusion

At the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship, 37 golfers among the 120-player Asia Pacific field are either playing U.S. college golf or have committed to 31 universities 😳. Why? Per the GD article, and also duh, it’s difficult to compete with the elite coaches, competition, practice facilities, education and exposure found in US collegiate golf. There’s also the ability to play courses like Cypress Point, as Lin points out. “I got to U Dub and the people in Seattle, they are just so passionate about sports,” he says. “They support us so much. We have donors that bring us to courses like Cypress Point, Pasatiempo and Pebble Beach, and other really nice courses before tournaments." Who knew a US university education could be a sneaky hack to do something on the cheap! Follow for more sneaky golf tricks and hacks that only cost $80k/year ea. https://lnkd.in/e-UcF_u7

Assembling a diverse panel of judges for the SPIAs isn't just about selecting winners—it's about fostering inclusive sport and recognising the organisations and individuals who champion it. Excited to celebrate excellence and diversity in sports! 🌟 #SPIAs #InclusiveSport #DiversityInSports"

As I stated in a previous post where Greg Norman won £70,000 for his victory at Trump Turnberry in The Open 1986 - The winners checks should return to a normal level so the The R&A can spend more globally promoting the game as they are charged to do - same goes for the United States Golf Association (USGA) & PGAs. It is not any way in their remit to pay pros generational wealth in a single check. I keep hearing the from the pros themselves that they are playing for legacy and trophies not money - The for profits (PGA TOUR, DP World Tour, Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA)) & others that self-fund (LIV Golf, Masters) may increase the purses as much as they like and sponsors will support - but the organizations that grow the game from grass roots support so that the leaderboards are full of flags from around the world should have the support of the professionals to cap the purses - The prestige of the Major shouldn't be contingent of the amount of the winners check. As Martin Slumbers bravely brought attention to the fact the escalation of purses on Golf's most important organizations is unsustainable. In addition, a reduction in the overall men's purse would, like tennis, hopefully allow equal men's and women's payouts in the majors hosted by those organizations as they support both. The Open is the greatest legacy major and doesn't need the largest purse to prove it. #growthegame Augusta National Golf Club #TheMasters PGA of America The PGA The Golf Business

Boys (and Girls) in the Boat—Life Lessons from Rowing 58th Head of the Charles Regatta this past weekend had me reflecting since stumbling into novice women’s team at Tech, then Harvard KSG grad boat, and decades of shore line spectating. A few came to mind: 1) All 8 pulling in same direction while facing backwards means trust 2) work with the water not against it—remember slow slide to glide 2) one rower going too fast can slow everyone down 3) but still keep up-catching a crab (oar stuck in water) can mean a black eye (or eye infection!) 4) communicate communicate communicate 5) never too old (89 year old at this years regatta started rowing at 57) 6) small countries (NZ, NE, DN) are outperforming large countries (US)-why? 7) race against your own clock 8) avoid entanglement and collisions (especially under bridges) 9) More accessibility and diversity is needed for this sport to survive 10) always have another power 10 ready Way enough!

Great to see the roll out of #ActiveStart in North Yorkshire. We've worked closely with Active Cumbria who developed the programme, to train our very own trainers (see Liz Burkinshaw below!) and are now well underway in delivering, thanks to specific health inequalities funding . 🤩 50 people have been through the training 🤩 Nearly 40 settings have an Active Start resource 🤩 100% of learners say their knowledge and awareness of how much activity is needed in the early years has increased 🤩 100% of learners say their understanding of how to include more activity and active play into their day has increased 🤩 100% of learners say their confidence, inspiration and motivation has increased. The training has involved so much discussion which is great! Learners have come away with more ideas for their setting and have been able to talk through some of the challenges they face; for which we are working on some follow up webinars/support. More training is being planned for North Yorkshire in March: https://lnkd.in/epp4e64E #EarlyYears #PhysicalActivity #PhysicalLiteracy #ActivePlay #learning #Movement

Believing you can do anything is the key to staying motivated on achieving your goals. We see the attitudes of our kids in our programs change week by week. They go from believing “I can’t play the game” to “I can do this”. Over the summer, we even had some of our kids teach our interns how to hold a golf club and swing. We want to create golf enthusiasts who will play and love the game, and teach others how to play too. Nothing is impossible as long as you put your mind to it. #flgf #finerlifegolf #kidsgolf #golf #motivation #mindset #anythingispossible
