Customer expectations have changed because their lives are built around choice.

But when your core business is competition, not engagement, delivering a frictionless, guaranteed blissful experience becomes harder.

After attending TGL last night, the difference was obvious.

This is a product designed with ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ leading the way.

The competition still matters, but itโ€™s not the only thing that matters.

That clarity is the real lesson.

When you know what leads your business, you can:

โ€ข Set expectations with customers

โ€ข Create clear rules of engagement

โ€ข Give your staff a focused vision

You canโ€™t be everything to everyone.

Pick a direction. Align your team. Go all in.

TGL is not trying to be a traditional golf event.

Theyโ€™re leading with experienceโ€”and it shows.

Oh and meeting Kendall Toole was a great bonus!
