For close to half a century as a PGA Professional, John Kennedy has supported, coached, and mentored people for a living.  Whether it was his team of Assistant Professionals and other staff at the famed West Chester Country Club where he spent 26 years as the Director of Golf , the students he loved to help on the lesson tee, or bringing the game of golf to military veterans, he’s used his role as a PGA Professional to enrich the lives of others by helping them improve in both golf and life.  

Along the way he was recognized by the PGA of America for 3 National Awards, 10 Metropolitan Section Awards and inducted into the Met PGA Section Hall of Fame in 2020.  Even since his retirement in 2016 he’s still counseling and consulting with PGA Professionals, always available to share his advice and experience.  

That was on full display in this conversation as he talks about the current state of the industry, how to succeed at your facility, the critical importance of having a time management system, and more.
