How is Marcos Baugh willing his vision for Urban Golf Club into existence?
It’s been said that sports are a vehicle for building character. Perhaps no sport exemplifies this more than golf. Anyone who has ever played golf knows how challenging it can be. Improvement is always possible, but it requires tremendous persistence. Ultimately, golf teaches three of the most valuable character traits known to man - patience, humility, and accountability.
My guest in this episode, Marcos Baugh, is founder of Urban Golf Club, a not-for-profit organization that teaches golf and financial literacy in Boston.
In Episode 56, Marcos shares how his experiences working as a caddy at a Boston country club through his teenage years led him to imagine and bring to life Urban Golf Club. Marcos discusses his passion for teaching young people life skills that extend far beyond golf and his vision for growing the organization well beyond the borders of Boston.
So, what’s your biggest takeaway from my conversation with Marcos Baugh?
My biggest takeaway is that Urban Golf Club’s core values of patience, humility, and accountability are critical to success in golf, sports and life, in general. Taking on the greatest challenges and making ourselves very uncomfortable is what generates the greatest growth. In that sense, golf is a microcosm of life. Marcos is doing great work helping young people build these traits.
My suggestion to young athletes is to gravitate towards those coaches, mentors, and friends that challenge you to your best even if you don’t always like what they have to say. Being able to look in the mirror and acknowledge what you see with complete honesty is a sign of great character.
I want to thank Marcos for his kind generosity and the wisdom she shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.
