How did things change for a ski instructor who decided to suddenly turn into the driveway at one of golf's most prestigous clubs? What actions did he take from that sudden turn which would redirect the trajectory of his life? 

Today we learn about the journey of the 2025 PGA of America Golf Professional of the Year, Scott Paris, the Director of Golf at Plainfield Country Club in New Jersey. 

In our time together with Scott we will discuss: 

A moment born of basic kindness and a moment which opened the door for Scott to pursue the opportunity at Plainfield.

The skills that Scott learned while being a ski instructor that prepared him for a successful career in golf.

The one thing that Scott feels has led to a rewarding and fulfilling longterm career at one facility…something that is becoming increasingly rare.

How Scott took on different roles at Plainfield and how he changed his approach to running meetings and most importantly, getting buy in from everyone involved.

How when emotions got high and what tool he was able to use to actually strengthen relationships and leave with a higher level of respect from both sides.

The approach Scott uses when people come to him with a problem.

The method Scott uses at the conclusion of each season for team building and comoraderie.

And finally, Scott will share the way he measures other people and also his advice for the. Next generation.
