Lessons in Excellence: Inspired by the PGA Annual Meeting & Our Club Partners
Gathering at the PGA of America Annual Meeting in Frisco, Texas was not only a celebration—it was a rare opportunity to observe and absorb best practices from golf’s most passionate professionals. Experiencing the camaraderie at Omni PGA Frisco and joining our partners at the Northern Texas PGA Section (NTPGA) influenced A. PUTNAM in meaningful ways.
Gathering at the PGA of America Annual Meeting in Frisco, Texas was not only a celebration, it was a rare opportunity to observe and absorb best practices from golf’s most passionate professionals. Experiencing the camaraderie at Omni PGA Frisco and joining our partners at the Northern Texas PGA Section (NTPGA) influenced A. PUTNAM in meaningful ways.
To watch these wonderful people celebrated over their passion for the game was inspiring. I gained so much perspective on the PGA of America these last few days. Incredible to see how each section is creating a legacy of impact on their communities through the game of golf.
Inspired by Partners Who Set the Bar
Our first full year alongside NTPGA opened our eyes to countless details that foster a welcoming culture, the kind of thoughtful gestures, member engagement, and teamwork that elevate guest and member experiences.
This spirit was brought to life through three cornerstone activations:
- NTPGA Women & Girls Golf Summit – As a sponsor and featured panelist, Allison witnessed and contributed to honest conversations about mentorship, community, and what it takes for women to lead and feel valued at every level.
- Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship presented by A. PUTNAM – The event blended camaraderie, professionalism, and joyful gathering, with apparel that added ease and style to members’ days.
- PGA of America Annual Meeting – Capping off the year, A. PUTNAM joined the NTPGA team to connect with women professionals and club leaders.
Our team found new approaches and subtle touches that mark the difference between a good club and a great one. Witnessing the value of hospitality, from the way club teams greet visitors to stories of mentorship passed down, challenged us to refine our own strategies and better support the teams who make golf communities exceptional.

Thank you, Kelly Gilley, Trish Holt, and your team, for allowing us to support you and the ladies in your community. This was a memorable trip.
Energized for the Future
We’re grateful for the relationships and examples set by NTPGA and others, and determined to carry those standards into each interaction, product, and touchpoint with the golf community.
The goal is simple and ongoing: absorb what works best, support the success of club teams, and help make each club an even richer experience for the professionals and women who inspire us every day.
