Kathleen says: “I am a problem solver.”
· For everyone who says, “I Wanna Golf Now!” I have created an indoor golf course open 24/7-365.
· For anyone who needs accessible accommodations, I have developed the Universal Design sports venue.
· For investors who desire to find the unicorn that will bring a great return, I have formulated a financial model to give them what they desire.
· For humanity, I am creating a culture of inclusivity and equality.
· For our future, I am using golf to create a world committed to virtue and ethics. What other sport requires the player to be their own referee?
“I have a passion for the game of golf, but can no longer play like everyone else for reasons of my disabling disease and this is my why.
My question to you is, what are you passionate about?”
