  • I’m Impressed

    I have a long commute and wanted to look for more golf content. I was especially looking for topics that I can connect with a little more close to home. I came across The DROP and was immediately impressed. The quality of discussion as well as the guest list has been excellent. I highly recommend adding to your library.

Patrick Keenan: How Deal Golf & Country Club Built a Stronger Family Golf Culture
Q: What role does family and balance play in your coaching style?
Family comes first; I coach my own kids and emphasize positivity, learning, and camaraderie over single-tournament success. The goal is to create lifelong enjoyment of golf and a sense of community that keeps people engaged with the club.
Patrick Keenan: How Deal Golf & Country Club Built a Stronger Family Golf Culture
Q: What prompted the driving-range transformation at Deal, and how does it support juniors?
We converted to TrackMan driving bays with real-time data and interactive games for kids, plus a flexible schedule on Tuesday mornings for juniors. It makes practice fun, accessible, and integrated with family activity, which helps families stay at the club longer.
Patrick Keenan: How Deal Golf & Country Club Built a Stronger Family Golf Culture
Q: How did you get into golf and decide to make it a career?
I started caddying as a kid, moved through the ranks at public and private clubs, and found that coaching, teaching, and growing junior programs was where I could blend business with family-friendly golf culture. This led me to Deal, where I could build a broader program and drive a true family atmosphere.
Is 12 Holes the Future of Golf? Mays XII Thinks So
Q: Why should someone come experience Mays XII and what makes it different from other courses in the area?
The hosts emphasize the 12-hole format as a bold, flexible option that fits different lifestyles, with a casual, social atmosphere and a high-quality course that remains genuinely challenging; the on-site restaurant and social spaces are highlighted as essential elements that set it apart from typical golf experiences in the region.
Is 12 Holes the Future of Golf? Mays XII Thinks So
