"Great at sharing ideas and learning what kinds of things their course does with regards to events, travel, member services, buying, and corporate"
"It helped me to grow and develop listening skills and providing advice in an open and meaningful way (often in our jobs - at least mine - you solve problems - rather than help others to work through them)"
"As golf instructors we talked at length about approach to teaching golf - you never know everything about the golf swing and communicating changes within it. Great conversation on how to make golfers better"

“I found it extremely valuable to simply chat with a member of the Association that has a lot of experience. It’s difficult to pinpoint one specific interaction but I would consider all of them beneficial”
“Expediting my goal achieving timeline. Helped me feel more confident of my abilities and to push myself”
“Benefits being able to talk to someone throughout the year that isn’t at my facility"
"I have especially benefited in terms of keeping perspective about my role and employment, acquiring facility management strategies and skills, and networking with those in my Mentor’s web who are relevant to my interests and goals"
"A few ways to interact with clients, and a very beneficial way to draw out a roadmap in terms of number of lessons people need. As well as an increased level of knowledge in terms of the swing"
"New retail and product selling ideas, understanding sales from a private club perspective, and learning how to navigate times of uncertainty and change due to COVID-19. Long term the best benefit is getting to know my mentor and having that relationship to rely on him moving forward in my career"
