The business card reads: Director of Marketing & National Sales Manager. Although those who know me would agree it should read: man of many hats. My first love is product development. I am proud to say I am Co-product designer. As a team, our innovative developments, are what I would consider to be only the building blocks for what is to come. I look forward to the challenges put forth to us by the USGA and the future of golf.
I am fortunate to have been around the golf industry my entire life. I developed a strong passion for the game from my father (Bob Burns, PGA Master Professional) who shares the same affinity for golf. As a young boy I was able to watch my father handcraft persimmon woods from a raw block. The process of turning the head down to the final shape, sanding, boring, milling, routing, staining and finishing was a true work of art and a fascination of mine. My father, has worked with some of the best in the industry. From the Ben Hogan, to Wilson Sporting Goods, Tommy Armour, The PGA of America, Ralph Maltby, AMF including other recognizable individuals such as: Arnold Palmer. My father has passed that wisdom down to my brother and I. The three of us have worked closely on many of the products we have developed over the years.
All things golf: Tour news, golf gossip, golf technology, new product developments, If you share the same affinity for golf as I do then this blog is for you. I hope you enjoy it.
I welcome any questions, comments or concerns and will do my best to respond to all the posts.
