Over the last year we’ve profiled clubs and individuals who exemplify the Next Generation of Leaders in the industry. Through the last few weeks, our definition of leadership has certainly expanded.
Charitable acts, mobilizing to support employees, and identifying new creative ways to stay connected with members have flooded our feed. Below are just a few of the Next Generation Leaders we’ve seen respond to, and lead the way through, these uncertain times.

In addition, CCC is putting together a plan to assist their staff with food and necessities that are scarce throughout their communities.

On Wednesday they host Cellar Stories and encourage virtual happy hours among their members. Their bartenders are also posting instructional videos for mixing up everyone’s favorite club cocktails.
Tumble Creek Club
Just because members are exercising responsibility by remaining at home, doesn’t mean they can’t brush up on their golf fundamentals. Tumble Creek Club is posting short videos from their golf pro. There’s no time like the present to work on that short game.
