Summary
In this episode, we sit down with PGA Professional Richard Woods for a candid conversation about life in the golf industry. We dig into why so many pros are walking away from the profession — is it burnout, or is it the reality that clubs are stretching head professionals across three or four roles at once, from coaching and retail to club secretary duties and effectively running the business? Richard shares his honest take from the front line. We also talk about his ambitions as a player, and get into the psychology of performance — including how past results have shaped his mindset and continued to influence his game as a working PGA Professional. A really insightful listen for anyone in the industry, or anyone curious what actually goes on behind the pro shop counter.
