Ag Grows Executive Team With New Vp Of Product
SEATTLE – With all of the twists and turns 2020 has thrown at us, we’re happy to report more signs of growth in the world of Modern Golf and golf simulation. aG also plans to announce more exciting news in the near future! This week, aG welcomed a new vice president of product and a new investor to its board.
While we can’t be certain what this year will bring us next (who can?), we’re thrilled to gain the insights of these two talented visionaries.
Ryan Duguid, VP of Product
In a recent interview with Ryan, he shared the hesitation he felt the first time he tried golf. “I met up with Brett (aG’s CEO), and he insisted we try the simulator. I wasn’t too keen on the idea, to be honest. He chose Razor’s Edge, and I don’t know if you’ve played it, but it’s very intimidating.”
Even the most experienced golfers have found Razor’s Edge to be a difficult challenge with its ever-narrowing landing zone.
“It got me thinking about Malcolm Gladwell’s popularization of the 10,000-hour theory,” Duguid said, referencing the estimated number of hours of practice needed to attain greatness. “If you spend 10,000 hours on a golf course, you’re apt to get really good at walking.”
“If you spend 10,000 hours on a simulator, you’re apt to get really good at the game itself. I’m going to put my theory to the test.”
We’re confident Duguid will find success.
aG’s Newest Board Member: James P. Karides, CPA
