Jay Karen, National Golf Course Owners Association | Episode No. 513

The National Golf Course Owners Association is a trade association founded in 1976 that represents golf course owners, operators, and industry professionals across the United States. Its mission is to support successful and sustainable golf operations through advocacy, education, networking, and business resources.

On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast, brought to you by Eden Mill St Andrews, Jay reflects on his time with the NGCOA, earning his Certified Association Executive designation, and the many initiatives shaping the future of the golf industry. He dives into the Golf Business AI Workshop, recaps National Golf Day, and shares insights into Golf Business Magazine and the valuable content being delivered to members. The conversation also explores the growth of indoor golf and simulators, membership opportunities, and the many benefits of being part of the NGCOA. This was an inspirational conversation, and it was an honor to have Jay on the show. Let's tee off.
