elcome to the June 2025 issue of General Managers Monthly, brought to you by PGA Magazine. This publication provides timely and relevant information about many aspects of general management by speaking to and collaborating with PGA of America General Managers and industry experts from across the country. For your reference, all past General Managers Monthly issues are available on the GM website (pgageneralmanagers.com).
In this month’s issue, we feature:
• Jesse Mueller, the PGA of America General Manager at Grand Canyon University Golf Course in Phoenix, Arizona.
In addition:
• Brandon Miller, the PGA of America Assistant General Manager and Director of Golf at Clear Creek Tahoe in Nevada, tells us about a fun and innovative par 3 layout he creates on their practice range.
• I share two stories upon returning from coaching my junior college golf team at our national championship earlier this month. The first is about the importance of educating your members on the Rules of Golf, and includes a conversation I had with a long-time New York State Golf Association rules official.
• The other story is a call to promote college golf among all your local high school players. With junior college play available to more than just your highest performing juniors, more of these young athletes can get the college golf experience, setting the tone for a lifetime in and around the game of golf.
• David Reese, the PGA of America General Manager at Kohanaiki Golf and Ocean Club in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, highlights the collaboration that he and his team implement to make their facility a blueprint for stellar service.
