    Innovation

    True innovation leaps over incremental changes and completely disrupts business as usual.

     

    Innovation reveals what else is possible and often achieves the impossible.

     

    The game of golf, (not its equipment or apparel), is in need of innovation. It's a multi-dimensional sport being played in one dimension.

     

    The introduction of time as an element of the sport, and also as an economic asset of real value, is Golf's next truly innovative leap.

    Passion

    Passion is the fire that stirs innovation.

     

    Passion comes from pursuing the deep inner drives and ambitions that arise from the core of who we are.

     

    It's within our dreams that we discover our true responsibilities.

     

    Without sustained passion there is little chance of making a positive and lasting impact on the game of golf.

    Wellbeing

    Attention to and care of the whole person keeps passion, or apathy, from overwhelming our lives.

     

    Taking care of the body through proper nutrition, rest, and consistent exercise, paying attention to our thoughts and emotions, immersing ourselves in community, and nourishing the spiritual life within gives us the best chance to fulfill our dreams and goals.
