We are the Club: Duty, Culture, and the Future of Golf Membership
In this episode, Matt Considine and The Professor delve into the concept of duty within the context of golf clubs and country clubs. They explore how duty, or the responsibility of members, influences the culture of each club, and the differences between ownership and rental mindsets in club membership. The conversation also touches on the evolution of golf clubs and their courses, the impact of elite clubs like Augusta National, and the importance of creating an inclusive environment for all golfers. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for clubs to focus on their duty to promote the game of golf and foster community among members and within the broader community.
