After only a brief stop on the show in Episode 100, our celebration episode, PGA of Canada Professional Brad Lawrence is back for a full interview. The Associate Professional at the highly-regarded Hamilton Golf & Country Club, the site of Rory McIlroy's RBC Canadian Open win in 2019, Brad shares his insight on junior golf development and much more. Outside of the interview we explore the decision by the PGA of America to allow rangefinders, the return of Annika Sorenstam to the LPGA, and the stories from the men's tournaments in Phoenix and Saudi Arabia where Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson prevailed. The Mail Bag sees us answer questions about the possibility of rangefinders on the PGA TOUR, is it possible to make a good golf movie, what are the youthful golf brands, the pros and cons of hitting golf balls off of turf versus mats, and would TPC Scottsdale be suited for a 2-player team event. We take a quick look at the early part of the backswing in the Tip of the Week.

June is Senior's Month in Ontario, and Pride Month in Canada, and today's episode explores the intersection, with an interview with Brad Lawrence at The Village of Winston Park, and Kadri Phillips at The Village of Riverside Glen, about the past and present of "Pride" at their respective retirement facilities. This was a deeply interesting conversation: on the surface, it may seem like a simple act to hang a rainbow/pride flag in a retirement centre, but in reality Brad set out to start that process in 2017, and has only this year succeeded in raising it. Riverside Glen is following Brad's example, and are having Pride celebrations for the first time just this year. And there are so many important factors as to why it takes time to see this progress - this generation of seniors who reside in these facilities grew up in a very different time, where topics of identity, sexuality and gender were not spoken of as openly. It is so important to establish these facilities as safe spaces for both future and present residents, and Brad and Kadri are doing an amazing job navigating how to ease these residents into considering perspectives they've maybe never been given space to discuss. This is hard and important work and thank you so much for Brad, Kadri, and the rest of your supportive staff for taking it on!This interview was originally recorded on June 27th 2020 Get on the email list at bridgingthesocialdistance.substack.com

Brad Lawrence has been a client of my firm for 12 years. During that time, he's grown his business beyond all expectations. Mostly because he's got guts. Recently, Brad was looking at a sort of charm bracelet for his jewelry store. He could buy the base bracelets for 6 dollars apiece if he ordered at least 500. That would be $3,000. But his real investment would be another $30,000 for the countless beads and charms with which women could personalize their bracelets. His friends gave him lots of advice: “Charm bracelets are dead. That trend has come and gone.” “They'll bring in the wrong customer. You'll lose your reputation for upscale sophistication.” “It would cost more to advertise the charm bracelets than you could make on them.” What did Brad decide? He decided to order 500 bracelets and give them all away. http://mondaymemo.wpengine.com/newsletters/read/1679 (My staff and I said “Hooray!”) Here's what his friends said: “People won't value the bracelet if they get it for free.” “People will take the bracelets, then sell them on eBay.” “Giving away jewelry will make you look desperate.” But Brad knew the story of K.C. Gillette, the man who gave away 90,884 razor handles in 1904 in the hope of selling disposable blades. By 1910 he was one of the richest men in America. Last year his company did more than $9 billion. How did it work out for Brad? The 500 free bracelets were gone in less than a week. And within 6 weeks Brad had sold more than $100,000 worth of beads and charms. Only 28 people who took a bracelet failed to buy any ornaments for it. This week Brad told me, “Groups of women are coming into the store during their lunch hour to shop for ornaments, beads and charms. Every day is like a party. The traffic is amazing. We're making lots of new friends and winning lots of new customers. It was one of the smartest things we've ever done.” Brad Lawrence had the courage of his convictions. Do you? Life is more fun on the edge. And the view is better, too. Roy H. Williams
