Celebrating the People Behind the Game
At ClubNest, the community is what truly sets the club apart. Behind every swing, every tournament, and every shared post-round meal is a story worth telling. The Member Spotlight series is a way to celebrate the individuals who shape the heart of ClubNest—not just as golfers, but as mentors, innovators, friends, and leaders.
Meet Laura Jennings: From Newcomer to Women’s League Captain
When Laura first joined ClubNest two years ago, she was new to the sport and unsure if she’d find her place. Today, she leads the Women’s League and mentors first-time players each season. “I didn’t expect to fall in love with the game so quickly,” Laura says. “But it wasn’t just the golf—it was the support, the laughs, the genuine connection with other women who showed up just like I did.” Her story is a reminder that it’s never too late to start—and that community is often the best coach.
The Thompson Family: Three Generations on the Tee
For the Thompsons, golf is a family tradition. Grandfather Harold, his son Michael, and granddaughter Lily are often seen playing together on Sunday mornings. What started as casual rounds has grown into a shared ritual. “ClubNest has become our second home,” says Michael. “It’s where Lily learned how to hold a club, and where Dad still beats us on the back nine.” Their story speaks to the power of golf to bridge generations and build lifelong memories.
Dr. Raj Mehta: Bringing Balance from the OR to the Fairway
As a busy surgeon, Dr. Mehta uses golf as a form of stress relief and mindfulness. “I find peace out here,” he says, often walking the course without a cart. Raj also leads ClubNest’s Health & Wellness initiative, hosting talks about injury prevention and fitness for golfers. His approach to the game is thoughtful and holistic—a perfect blend of passion and purpose.
Maya Rivera: Championing Diversity on and off the Course
Maya, a marketing executive and long-time member, helped spearhead ClubNest’s diversity and inclusion committee. Her advocacy has led to mentorship programs, outreach events, and scholarship partnerships for underrepresented youth. “Golf has so much potential to bring people together,” she says. “We just need to open more doors.” Maya’s leadership ensures ClubNest continues to grow in both numbers and heart.
Why Stories Matter
Each member brings something unique to ClubNest: wisdom, humor, leadership, encouragement. The stories shared here are more than personal triumphs—they reflect the values that make ClubNest a thriving, inclusive, and inspiring place to be. Whether it’s a first birdie or a 50th anniversary tournament, every milestone contributes to the club’s legacy.
Conclusion
The game of golf may bring people to ClubNest, but it’s the people who make it unforgettable. Through the Member Spotlight series, we honor the individuals who shape our community—on the course and beyond. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about playing golf; it’s about belonging to something bigger.
