The future of golf depends on how we develop the people behind it. In our latest newsletter, we share leadership lessons from the Leadership on the Links Summit, and share ideas to strengthen your team. linkedin.com/pulse/golfs-fut…

The future of golf starts with the people we bring into it. Brian Laurent joined us on Leadership on the Links to discuss how superintendents can inspire the next generation - and how the Super-Scratch Foundation is helping future turf professionals pursue their careers. Every superintendent has an opportunity to introduce someone to this profession, invest in their development and show them what’s possible. Who are you encouraging to take the next step? 🎧 Listen here: bloomgolfpartners.com/podcas… #LeadershipOnTheLinks #SuperScratch #GolfCourseSuperintendents

Golf has an instant gratification challenge. In a world where nearly everything is available on demand, golf still requires time, patience, practice, and a financial commitment. For someone picking up the game, that can be a tough sell - especially when the first experience is expensive and frustrating. For golf leaders, the question is clear: How do we make the game easier to enter and more rewarding to stick with? Welcoming environments, accessible instruction, and flexible ways to play can help turn initial interest into a lasting connection. 🎙️ Hear more conversations about the future of the game on Leadership on the Links: (bloomgolfpartners.com/podcas…) #LeadershipOnTheLinks #BloomGolfPartners #GrowTheGame #GolfLeadership

Your superintendent’s value reaches far beyond the maintenance budget - and can represent millions to your club. Their value extends far beyond managing the maintenance budget. Course conditions influence member satisfaction, the club’s reputation, and its ability to attract and retain members. A great superintendent turns the resources entrusted to them into an experience people want to invest in. For club leaders, understanding that connection changes the conversation about compensation, staffing, equipment, and support. 🎙️ Hear more about the superintendent’s value on Leadership on the Links: bloomgolfpartners.com/podcas… #LeadershipOnTheLinks #BloomGolfPartners #GolfCourseSuperintendent #GolfLeadership

Thirteen NCAA team titles in 15 seasons. That level of sustained success isn’t built on talent alone. It takes a clear standard, a championship culture and the ability to develop people year after year. At the Leadership on the Links Summit, Penn State Head Wrestling Coach Cael Sanderson shares what it takes to build a team that consistently performs at the highest level—and what golf leaders can apply within their own organizations. 📍 Toftrees Resort, State College, PA 📅 October 12, 2026

Our Leadership on the Links Summit was a special day with amazing people, networking and world class education. Thank you to our team, sponsors and attendees. We also started a new tradition, the Legacy of Excellence Award. This recognition honors someone who has made a tremendous impact in mentorship, leadership and golf course management. Matt Shaffer is our inaugural winner.

Your personal brand isn’t something you create from scratch - it’s the reputation you’re already building every day. At the Leadership on the Links Summit, AJ Vaden, Co-Founder and CEO of Brand Builders Group, is kicking things off discussing how leaders can create influence and impact for yourself, your team and organization.

Today, a room full of agronomy leaders is spending a Monday in October on the part of the job nobody trained them for. That's not a small thing. In this industry, in this month, taking a day is a decision. Two keynotes, a panel, and roundtables built from what this specific group walked in carrying. To everyone here: thank you for betting a day on it. To everyone who couldn't make it: watch this space. We'll share what came out of the room, and we'll be back. #leadershiponthelinks #golfcoursesuperintendent #golfindustry #leadership #turfgrass #turfmanagement #privateclub #superintendentlife #statecollege #golfmaintenance
