Inside the Gates · Newsletter Vol. 1 · Weekly · Free · Substack

The private golf world,
from the inside out.

Inside the Gates is the only independent, authoritative voice in the private golf industry — covering ownership dynamics, governance health, M&A activity, membership-model evolution, and the elite playing perspective from someone who has actually sat on club boards, run championship tournaments, and competed at the national level.

Published weekly on Substack. Free to read. Written for private club board members, operators, ownership groups, and the broader golf community who want to understand what's actually happening in the private golf world — not the press-release version.

This week · No. 17

Why most private clubs are underpricing their membership — and the boards that know it.
