Join us for a Seat at the Table event this June featuring Ryan Austad. Ryan has been playing golf since he was old enough to grip a club.  "My best golf memory is playing the 'ice cream hole' with my dad when I was a kid.  If I scored a 6 or better, we'd go out for a frozen treat following the round," said Austad.  Ryan now has three kids of his own who are starting the game.  Prior to rejoining the Austad's team in 2015, Ryan spent seven years working as a management consultant with Fortune 500 companies.  "While consulting taught me a lot, the golf industry is ultimately where I belong.  We believe in having fun each day while helping people reach their golfing potential.  I wake up each day loving what I do."
