PODCAST #17- IS GOLF UNDERLEVERAGED?
There’s noise in men’s professional golf right now. And there’s plenty of commentary on whether this is a positive look for our sport, or whether it is damaging.
What about if you take a very positive, but analytical lens on where this current period of flux might lead us? For both men’s and women’s professional golf, and our wider industry.

PODCAST #16- What Should Golf Really Be Talking About?
Golf is a large global industry. With that comes noise.
Headlines and statistics give short-term industry diagnoses. What these reports miss is a critical analysis of what the headlines or statistics mean for you and your business.
At Gather, we believe golf industry professionals want to cut through this noise and identify what information is specific to their business.
So, this week we recorded a 28 minute podcast that discussed how to separate the chaff from the wheat when it comes to information. What should the golf industry really be talking about?
