On the latest episode of Haggin Oaks & Morton Golf’s new podcast, Hosel Rockets, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVltZQLi6J8, a podcast and vlog about golf that focuses on new product launches, interviews with industry experts, golf trends, and casual conversation, the team concludes its third of three consecutive episodes to talk about diversity and inclusion in golf with former Desert Mountain Clubhouse Manager and now Catering & Events Manager, Passion Graham.
In this 29th episode of the Hosel Rockets Podcast, host Ken Morton, Jr. talks with Graham, who has been the clubhouse manager for No. 7 at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona before just recently taking a promotion and becoming their Catering & Events Manager at the same club. Graham is the first Black woman to manage such a facility at a platinum club. And she is not one to rest on her success. She’s a force of nature and highly recognized by the CMAA as an award-winner and mentor.
Graham has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Fayetteville State University in North Carolina and an associate’s degree in hospitality management. And under the leadership of her mentor, Damon DiOrio, CEO of Desert Mountain Club, she continues to raise the bar of what it means to delivery customer service. In this podcast, Graham shares some of her business philosophies, why it’s important to diversify the golf business with more women and people of color and shares some personal tidbits on her own experience.
Each week, Hosel Rockets hosts cover a wide range of topics as they dig deep into new product releases, interview industry experts, and give a behind the scenes glimpse into running the most awarded retail operation in America, the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex.
The show is also filmed regularly and can be seen as a vlog on the Morton Golf Sales YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/mortongolfsales .
