Justin Rose is joining McLaren Golf as its first global ambassador, as well as an investor in the business. McLaren equipment will make its tour debut this week in Miami. Rose played a key role in prototype testing, offering feedback that helped shape the impending gear releases. “From the beginning, this has been a passion project,” said Rose. “I’ve had the opportunity to be involved from the outset – working with the team, testing the clubs and helping shape what they’ve become. That level of involvement, combined with the standards McLaren brings to everything they do, made this an easy decision for me. I’m excited to put the clubs in play and watch the brand flourish.”

Most events suck. Too many speakers, too much small talk, not enough time to actually connect with anyone. My bet is that you learn more about someone in three hours on a river than three days at a conference. So this year, I'm hosting six events built around that idea. Get interesting people in PE, VC, and GTM together to do cool things. Fly fishing. Golf. Hiking. Skiing. No conference rooms, no agendas. The first one is a month out. In February, I'm taking a small group to Northern Georgia to fly fish for trout on the Soque River. Three days. A cabin a few miles from the water. An up and coming river guide who knows every run and ties a mean fly. Every night a private chef cooks dinner. We hang out, smoke cigars, drink whiskey, and swap stories about what we caught (or didn't). You don't need experience. You just need to want to have fun and learn. If this sounds like your kind of thing, let's talk.
