As we roll through the first year of this decade I've asked two standard questions to a few key players in our industry. I wanted to know their thoughts, from their unique role and perspective, on what we saw over this last ten years and what to expect in the ten to come.
I recently asked Pat Jones "Who is Pat Jones?", to which he replied: "I’m just an accidental tourist in the golf/turf business. Ended up in this crazy thing completely by chance 25 years ago and never left".
Well I guess some accidents happen for a reason as Pat's career grew from overseeing communications and fundraising at GCSAA headquarters, to creating Golfdom magazine, starting a consulting service for golf/turf companies, Flagstick LLC, and serving on several corporate and non-profit boards, including the Musser Turfgrass Research Foundation.
I know Pat as editorial director of Golf Course Industry magazine, where he runs and contributes articles, blogs, videos and his award-winning “Parting Shots” column each month. Pat's unique perspective offers up hope and a dose of reality, enjoy and please share your thoughts in the comments section.
