From Club Pro to First Tee San Francisco CEO | Dan Burke

Dan Burke has spent nearly his entire life in golf, from growing up playing junior tournaments in Stockton, California, to 17 years as the head professional at Lake Merced Golf Club, to his current role as CEO of First Tee San Francisco. Dan joins us this week to share stories about his journey into the golf business (after playing his college golf at Santa Clara University), life as a club professional, how a meeting with the legendary Sandy Tatum inspired him to take a different path, and why helping young people discover golf has become such an important part of his life. We also go behind the scenes of the remarkable transformation of Golden Gate Park Golf Course and learn about First Tee's mission to teach life skills and create opportunities for kids through golf. Plus, we hear how Dan's own relationship with the game has evolved over the years.
