What Do You Order from the #GolfChat Bar?

First of all, I appreciate that this is the first question! Ha! As far as an answer, it depends on the day/season and time of day…always prefer a good New Zealand or Australian Sauvignon Blanc or if cocktail time a Bombay Sapphire/Tonic (always with extra limes) or if beer, Pacifico with lime, Bloody Mary’s in the morning preferably fully garnished to include #bacon. It all depends but #rake #rake #rake     

How Did You Get Into Golf?

My ex-husband introduced the game to me on our honeymoon in Maui. Bought my first set of clubs at Target. I still play with the same putter today, although a Wilson set, I named him Ralph. 

What Are You Doing in Golf and Why?

I am working for the best golf course management company, KemperSports. It’s family owned and it feels like home. I get to travel and work with some of the most fun and innovative people in the business and brainstorm new ideas on driving revenue at all types of golf courses. It’s a hoot. I’m not sure I am changing the world by any means but I am trying to make it in a work hard-play hard place and positively promote the game of golf! I’m also on the board for the California Golf Course Owners Association #GolfAdvocate

Favorite Golf Quote?

“It’s not about how good you play, it’s about how fast you play.” – AMEN

Favorite Golf Destination and Why?

This is tough to answer. Chambers Bay is a favorite but destination wise I might have to say Palm Desert, CA. the scenery is beautiful and the variety of resort style courses are plentiful. Love Desert Willow Golf Resort!

How Do You View the State of the Game of Golf?

I wish there was a magic bullet… I think seeing younger players on tour succeed such as Jordan Spieth does the game a lot of good. Showing golfers having fun versus being quiet and reserved (like we currently see on TV) would help some too. I think overall, the industry could create a stronger social aspect versus the heavy promoting of competition and having to hold a handicap would make room for an increase in participation. Plus throw in some adult beverages and music on occasion to kick it up a notch (yet not interfering with the die-hard competitive players.)
