When approached, aspiring young professionals are often looking for "the answer" to fast-tracking their career to a Generl Manager, Director of Golf, or Head Golf Professional. The fact is, according to Tom, there is no 'secret equation.' Money should not always be the driving force as a young professional, we should be striving for opportunities and experiences. The important skills are building your network of valuable references, building your personal brand, and working hard to open the doors for yourself. Age isn't always a factor - you have to know what you want to do and then believe in it and believe in yourself and above all else, work hard at what you do. 

Tom shares his path to success and key learnings for new professionals in the industry driving to a successful career in the industry.
