Amazing to hear our current PGA WORKS Fellow, Camryn Eddy, share incredible experiences and connections made at this year’s PGA of America Show!
I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the PGA Show for the first time as a PGA WORKS fellow. While the show had so much to offer, the people were by far my favorite part. I was surrounded by a community of golf professionals, industry leaders, and 21 other WORKS fellows for the two days. From our show floor stops, to industry stage panels, and then dinner with the executives of the PGA of America, the week was extremely impactful. I was truly inspired after hearing from Derek Sprague, Sandy Cross, Jenny Lewis, Kevin J. Scott, Craig Kessler, and Jeff Price about their journeys and advice for young professionals and I thank them for their time and words. I want to take a minute to recognize Mackenzie Myers! Mackenzie is a former WORKS fellow and absolutely crushed it on the "WORKS Fellows to Full Time Professionals" panel, speaking about her transition and some key takeaways from the fellowship. I feel so lucky to have her as a role model and someone to look up to. A heartfelt thank you also goes out to our fearless leaders, Cameron Dinkins and Iyannei Miranda, MBA, MSBM. The week would not of been possible without you all and thank you for everything you do for PGA WORKS. And to conclude, a few of my favorite takeaways— be confident in yourself, be vulnerable and don't be afraid to try new things, be a people person, and always have a firm handshake. I'm looking forward to applying what I've learned and continuing to grow, both personally and professionally.
