In the first edition of Quick 9—a shorter, more focused version of the Course Record Show—I sit down with Kris Hart, who run innovation at the PGA of America.Kris talks EP Golf Ventures, the organization’s dedicated innovation fund, and how they evaluate opportunities at the intersection of golf, technology, and business. The conversation explores the challenge of separating passion projects from scalable investments, betting on people vs products, and how the PGA’s 30K+ members, Frisco campus, and Championships serve as a powerful real-world testing and feedback network. Please like, subscribe, and pass along to a friend if you dig our conversation.
