S
hona DeMint has spent 18 years working in the golf industry, the past six of which have been here with the TGA.
As Director of Learning and Development, Shona helps TGA Member Clubs and their professional staff with guidance and technical support for Golf Genius, a dynamic, online software program designed to make tournament management easier.
Shona started her golf career as an Assistant Professional at a private country club where she helped manage daily operations. She then accepted a position with the Kansas City Golf Association in 2007, where she stayed for seven years before arriving at the TGA in early 2015.
“I kind of fell into the golf industry,” Shona said. “I play golf as a way to socialize with my friends, and it all just came together.”
She enjoys her job and her skill with providing support and service to TGA Member Clubs is aided by her previous experience as a golf professional.
“I like to help people,” Shona said. “Working in these associations and even giving lessons as an assistant pro, I’ve always had a helping background that led to golf.”
