In May 2025, many of us have decided to participate in the 30-Day Golf Coach4aday Challenge. Each day the goal is to share something about a particular golf course, golf equipment, or to actually get on the course and play a few holes. Golf is the only sport where you can be furious, humbled, and ecstatic—all in the span of one hole, and still call it “relaxing.” It’s a game where you are cajoling and chasing a tiny ball into a gopher hole. For many it becomes a lifelong obsession and an excuse to buy outrageous pants and the latest driver.

Today my golf observation is on the State of Massachusetts Golf MUSEUM.

This challenge will not be for everybody but there are plenty that enjoy the game despite not being anywhere close to playing at a high level. That includes me.

Golf 30-Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to getting out on the golf course—but if that’s not in the cards, share a story about a favorite course or a piece of gear you love (or love to hate).

  1. Record something about your day on the course or talk about a golf course or piece of equipment.
  2. Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
  3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge

Day 19-Museum

Today’s post is dedicated to my friend and fellow 30-Day Coach4aday Challenge participant Jeff Neelon. His family roots tie him to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and I discovered that the state has a golf museum called Massachusetts Golf Museum

The Massachusetts Golf Museum, located within the William F. Connell Golf House in Norton, was established in 2002 to celebrate the state’s rich golf heritage and honor individuals who have significantly contributed to the game. The museum features interactive exhibits, a replica of the Francis Ouimet Library, and a Hall of Trophies, offering visitors an immersive journey through Massachusetts’ golfing history. A notable highlight is the recently inaugurated “Pat Bradley Room,” showcasing over 100 unique items from the legendary LPGA golfer’s illustrious career.

One of the best professional golfers from Massachusetts is Francis Ouimet, often called the “Father of Amateur Golf” in the U.S. He made history by winning the 1913 U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline as a 20-year-old amateur, defeating British legends Harry Vardon and Ted Ray.

Coach4aday

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
