82. Ladies League & Invitational Ideas from the Biggest Golf Club in Arizona with Sean Ferris

Shannon Mercer and I sit down with Sean Ferris, Tournament Director at Desert Mountain Golf Club in Scottsdale.   Listen in as he gives us an insider’s perspective on the logistics of running a club with seven golf courses, from scheduling challenging tee times to ensuring members get to experience each unique course.   An experienced golfer himself, Sean doesn't shy away from revealing which course he finds most challenging and how the toughest holes can transform into your most memorable experiences in the sport.   Sean gives us the ins-and-outs of Desert Mountain’s golf program for ladies, including an innovative Friday night initiative for working women, a nine-hole league, and an inclusive bridge program for beginners. He also talks about some fun new, camaraderie-fostering initiatives he’s been putting into place at member guest tournaments.   Sean explains the different member guest formats, particularly the ever-successful team format, structured to prioritize pace of play. He also talks about utilizing technology for scoring, and why the humble paper scorecard isn't going anywhere anytime soon.   About Sean Ferris: Sean Ferris graduated from Ferris State University with a Professional Golf management degree, and started his career as a PGA golf professional at Desert Mountain Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
