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

2nd year competing. 2nd year getting 2nd place, in flight 2. That's quite a mouthful... This past weekend, Mark Borlin and I competed in the Silver Lake CC Member Guest and came up short. It was a hard-fought weekend where every match mattered. It turns out only a few putts were the difference between us winning our flight and going on into the championship march. In sports and in life, the details matter. Small decisions add up and end up making huge impacts. It might not feel important but pay attention to the small choices you make. Each one affects the direction you're going and where you'll be 20 years from now. #growth #competition #accountingandfinance
