Silicon Valley doesn't understand the Golf Business.
Club Professionals can't afford to ignore what Silicon Valley is building.
There is a massive disconnect between the tech world and the real world.
If you read standard tech news, you get breathless hype about the future. If you run a golf operation, you deal with challenges every day – issues with human resources, managing the finances, events, meetings, finding time to spend with members, and the constant pressure to exceed expectations.
Most AI news is written for software engineers, not Club Professionals. This creates a dangerous blind spot if you're not paying attention.
⚠️ Here is the perfect example
When a tech headline says "Autonomous AI Agents can now use apps like humans," a tech enthusiast thinks about having a personal assistant book a flight.
A Director of Golf should be thinking:
"When there's a frost delay, can this thing identify every affected tee time, propose a new run-of-show for the morning, update the tee sheet, send notifications to impacted members, and brief the starter—before the phone starts ringing off the hook?"
✅ The answer is yes. And if you are still manually calling down a waitlist while the phone is ringing off the hook, you are losing revenue and wasting time.
