The Bulldog Business Show - July 1, 2026

In this episode of the Bulldog Business Show, we sit down with Tim Basel, Head Golf Professional at the Mississippi State University Golf Course and a graduate of MSU's PGA Golf Management program. Tim shares how the program prepared him for a career in the golf industry, the value of hands-on internships, and what ultimately brought him back to Starkville. Plus, we highlight how MBA students are solving real-world business challenges through strategic consulting projects and celebrate Dr. Matthew Whitledge's participation as a panelist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's Future of Banking Conference. Whether you're a golfer, a future business student, or simply curious about one of Starkville's hidden gems, this episode offers an inside look at the MSU Golf Course, lessons and junior camps, the unique pro shop, and the many ways the course serves the university and local community.
