If you’ve been listening for a while, you’ve come to understand how important I believe leadership is to being a successful PGA Professional.  In these times of low retention levels and poor employee engagement, your ability to lead your team and your facility has never been more critical.  It’s the reason we’re launching a much anticipated leadership program from GBNU here this fall, 2022.  We’re going to give PGA Professionals the chance to develop their leadership skills so they can become somebody that people want to follow, somebody that people want to work for, and somebody that can produce results for their facility.  All through the lens of what you, the PGA Professional does every day.  I can’t wait to tell you more about it.  

And right on queue, we have an episode that can be a masterclass on leadership.  I was so honored to have the chance to speak with our featured guest, David Novak.  David is one of the premier leadership minds out there.  He’s the former CEO and co-founder of Yum Brands, which operates KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and The Habit Burger.  He’s been named Chief Executive of the Year, and oversaw explosive growth as the company doubled its number of restaurants under his leadership and grew to a market cap of almost $32 billion.  His marketing background includes such big wins as developing and launching Cool Ranch Doritos, and Pizza Hut’s meat lover’s pizza…along with one notable marketing mishap, which we’ll discuss.  You’ll want to hear that.

Now after retiring in 2016, David launched “David Novak Leadership” where he coaches leaders using his time tested methods and practices, including Purposeful Recognition.  He’s the host of the very popular “How Leaders Lead” podcast where talks with world class leaders every week.  In addition he’s a New York Times bestselling author.

David is busy to say the least, but not too busy to find time for one of his biggest passions…golf.  He’s the definition of a “golf nut” and not to mention,quite a player as you’ll hear early in our conversation about a huge accomplishment he achieved this summer.  So David knows golf and he know golf pros.  That’s why this conversation is so powerful.  Whether you’re in a leadership position, or aspire to get to one, David’s lessons here are priceless and ones you can implement the very next time you walk in the door at work.  

This was such a pleasure to have this conversation and I’m excited to share it with you.

For close to half a century as a PGA Professional, John Kennedy has supported, coached, and mentored people for a living.  Whether it was his team of Assistant Professionals and other staff at the famed West Chester Country Club where he spent 26 years as the Director of Golf , the students he loved to help on the lesson tee, or bringing the game of golf to military veterans, he’s used his role as a PGA Professional to enrich the lives of others by helping them improve in both golf and life.  

Along the way he was recognized by the PGA of America for 3 National Awards, 10 Metropolitan Section Awards and inducted into the Met PGA Section Hall of Fame in 2020.  Even since his retirement in 2016 he’s still counseling and consulting with PGA Professionals, always available to share his advice and experience.  

That was on full display in this conversation as he talks about the current state of the industry, how to succeed at your facility, the critical importance of having a time management system, and more.

Whether it was managing golf course operations as a Superintendent or now heading his own consultant and search firm, Tyler Bloom has always been a problem solver.  After working at some of the top clubs in the country as an Assistant Superintendent, Tyler landed his own job as a Golf Course Superintendent and spearheaded some innovative ways to address the challenges of recruiting and retaining people to his team.  

And now in the nearly two years since he left his position to start his own business, Tyler Bloom Consulting, he’s quickly becoming a go-to resource in the areas of recruitment and workforce development.   Working with clubs for placements in  multiple roles across all departments, he’s been battling the current labor market, and in most cases, winning that battle.  

How can you implement some of his strategies to help your own recruiting efforts?  Let’s learn how.

Whenever you hear anyone talk about Caves Valley Golf Club, the first thing they’ll mention is the “experience”.  From the moment you arrive throughout your round and after, the emphasis is on creating a lasting memory that few other clubs can match.  

And throughout the club’s existence, until the end of 2021, a single individual was at the head of the golf experience at Caves.  Dennis Satyshur, known to some just as “Football”, spent 31 years fostering the original vision for the club, where in its early stages success was not a foregone conclusion.  Caves Valley was a new model at the time, committed to a National members, committed to caddies, committed to hosting Championships, committed to the community, to inclusion, to the game of golf, and committed to the “experience”.  

In retirement, Dennis will be joining the team at Golf Business Network as a consultant.

We pick up our conversation with Dennis discussing his recent departure, as well as their equally tenured General Manager, and passing the torch to Dennis’s faithful and highly capable Assistant and Head Professional, Matt Fuller.

In this edition of the Forward Press Podcast, Golfweek's David Dusek chats with golf writer and professor, Tom Coyne, about his new book, A Course Called America: Fifty States, Five Thousand Fairways, and the Search for the Great American Golf Course.

In this edition of the Forward Press Podcast, Golfweek's David Dusek chats with Tom Doak, a renowned golf course architect with 6 courses ranked among the top 100 in the world. Some of his famous golf courses include Pacific Dunes in Oregon, Ballyneal in Colorado, Barnbougle Dunes in Tasmania and Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand.

It’s late August, 1996.  I had just arrived at college for my freshman year.  Like most college kids back then with this new-found independence, I was taking the opportunity to sit in my dorm room and stare at the TV, free from anyone telling me where to be and what to do.  Without Netflix, or YouTube, or Prime, we watched what was on TV.  And on this particular Sunday, the eyes of the golf world were fixated on the final of the United States Amateur Championship.  

Over the last few years, Tiger Woods had burst on the scene and captivated golfers with his unmatched talent, prodigious length, and record setting play.  It’s safe to say that no amateur golfer had garnered this much attention since Bobby Jones, some 70 years prior.  Tiger was no longer just known in golf circles, he was a celebrity. 

As I sat on my bed in that tiny room in State College, PA, it was time to watch Tiger take his victory lap through that final match and achieve what no other golfer had ever accomplished...winning three U.S. Amateur Championships in a row.  

But something happened on that path to victory.  A young, fellow college player from the University of Florida, named Steve Scott, was 5 up after 18 holes.  This wasn’t supposed to be the story line.  How could Tiger’s monster drives and the backing of an entire gallery, not take down this opponent?  Was Steve Scott going to be what stood in between Tiger Woods and golf history?  

As many of you know, the legend of Tiger Woods took a huge leap forward that day.  His comeback from that 5 down deficit was everything you came to expect from the most dominant player in our game.  Tiger would go on to turn professional shortly after, would soon win his first PGA Tour event, and eventually The Masters, just 7 months later.  You know the rest.

But as we learn in the episode, all was not lost for Steve Scott that day.  He played as well as he could, taking Tiger Woods to the brink of defeat and during his college days, reached #1 in the amateur golf rankings.  But it’s an episode on the 34th hole of the match that stands out to many.  We discuss what happened and how Steve’s reaction, his sportsmanship and his decision to do the right thing, even in defeat, has benefited him time and time again.  

In fact, it’s the title of his upcoming book, “Hey Tiger- You Need to Move Your Mark Back”, the story of the ‘96 U.S. Amateur and the moment that has defined Steve Scott’s career as a player and now as a PGA Professional.    You can get the book HERE.
