THIS JUST IN: Unlocked Articles + Brand New Content


Fall 2025 Update

Hey everyone,

Before I dive into the next wave of stories and spotlights, I wanted to share a few quick updates from Grow Golf HQ. These changes are all about making the newsletter more accessible, more connected, and more valuable heading into the 2026 PGA Show.


What's New?

1) 🔓 Unlocked Articles​
​

You no longer need to log in to read Grow Golf articles on the web (www.growgolf.co)
For the next few weeks, everything’s wide open — no barriers, no pop-ups, no sign-ins.

Why? Because I want to see how much easier discovery and sharing becomes when you can send an article directly to a colleague or friend in the industry without friction.

It’s a bit of an experiment, but one that might stick around if it helps more pros, member gurus, merchandisers, and golf brand builders find value here.

So if there’s a piece you liked, now’s the time to share it. There's a full list of recent articles at the end of this e-mail. If you thought one of them was interesting, I'd love it if you shared it!

2) 📋 The Scorecard — Powered by Live Tourney

I’m excited to announce a new content partnership with Live Tourney, who helps golf pros run golf tournaments and leagues effortless, exciting, and accessible for everyone with powerful yet simple technology.

Together, we’re launching The Scorecard, a recurring segment where we’ll help golf professionals and operators run better events without the chaos.

Each edition will focus on a real-world format or challenge and unpack something you can use right away, while showing how Live Tourney can make it easier to execute.

This partnership adds to Grow Golf’s mission of sharing expert, actionable insights with Live Tourney’s data and experience from courses around the country. It’s practical, relevant, and built to help your next event run smoother than ever.


3) 🛒 Inside the Aisles — Call for PGA Show Brands​
​

As the 2026 PGA Show gets closer, I’m itching to build a new series called Inside the Aisles, spotlighting the people you need to meet at this year’s show.

It’ll feature brands, products, and service providers who make the show worth walking — from apparel startups to software companies to merch innovators.

If you have a favorite rep pr know a emerging brand exhibiting at the PGA Show that should be featured, reach out (just reply to this email). The goal is to create a runway of stories that help the industry discover what (and who) to pay attention to long before the doors open in Orlando.

The Bottom Line

Grow Golf is growing and evolving. Unlocking articles, new partnerships, and a deeper focus on the PGA Show are all part of expanding how we connect with the people shaping this game’s business side.

If you’ve been reading, sharing, or partnering along the way, I'm thankful.

And if you’re building something great in golf, my inbox is open.

The Membership Reset We're almost at Thanksgiving, and for many, you're in renewal season. Look, we all know renewal decisions aren’t made in March when invoices go out. They’re made in the Fall, right now in November, during the quietest stretch of the year (for most). As the weather cools and schedules shift, members naturally drift away from the club. When that detachment goes unaddressed, the renewal conversation becomes significantly harder. Clubs often try to “save” members during...
