    Great show fellas, but if you have even the slightest inclination of making this an ongoing concern, now feels like a really good time to do podcast on ‘the business of golf’.

    I mean, you’ll never get another belt-high fastball to go deep on better than this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Field Report #4 @ The PGA - Kevin Lawson - T-Mobile Powering the PGA Ep. 59
Q: Explain to us what private 5G is and why it matters at an event like Aronimink.
Private 5G is a dedicated spectrum setup that ensures high throughput and low latency for event-specific data needs, enabling reliable broadcasting, IoT sensor data, and real-time fan experiences even in a temporary, challenging venue like a major championship.
Ep 54 - Golf Merchandise 101 w/ Jared Henzlik of Big Cedar Lodge
Q: What's the biggest challenge when a golf brand scales from D2C to wholesale and beyond?
The first big hurdle is often logistics—3PL and shipping for online orders alongside the complexity of fulfilling golf clubs orders; later, the ERP system must handle increased requirements like EDI and barcodes as the business grows.
Ep 54 - Golf Merchandise 101 w/ Jared Henzlik of Big Cedar Lodge
Q: What was the role you played at Polo Golf and how did that shape your view of the channel strategy in golf merchandising?
I started by visiting customers across five states, presenting lines directly to Greengrass pro shops and private clubs, which taught me the importance of understanding buyer needs, pairing products to facilities, and keeping things simple and accessible for buyers to build long-term relationships.
Ep 53 David Southworth - Quick 9 on the Luxury Golf Real Estate Market
Q: What are the core development principles that have proven timeless in your experience?
Key principles include collaboration, building what people want by tapping into their imaginations and desires, and maintaining a focus on genuine care for staff and residents; these elements around people and purpose guide sustainable growth over flashy, short-term gains.
Ep 53 David Southworth - Quick 9 on the Luxury Golf Real Estate Market
Q: As we sit here in 2026, how would you describe the health of the luxury golf real estate market?
The market is healthy and steady, not driven by a boom but by solid fundamentals, demographic tailwinds, and a balance of supply and demand that has remained favorable after a period of robust COVID-era activity.
