As most, the relationship starts with the desire to improve your game of golf, but it quickly moves to becoming one of the BSG members learning from all the staff and creating lifelong relationships with other golf enthusiasts. We are so grateful for all the relationships our family has accumulated through the BSG family.”   —  CEO

Now, being a collegiate golf coach, I try to embody a lot of the same philosophies that I learned from Brend and the whole BSG family.”  —  Three-time State Champion | SEC Competitor | College Coach
