Community Engagement at Brookline Golf Course
Friday, 20 December, 2024
This episode of the National Links Trust Podcast is a recording from the Municipal Golf Network Webinar Program. It features the story of Brookline Golf Course in Brookline, MA and its relationship with the local community.Opened in 1933, Brookline Golf Course (also known as Robert T. Lynch and previously, Putterham Meadows) has elevated its role in the community in recent years largely thanks to the leadership of Justin Lawson, the facility's general manager. In his role, Justin has overseen a successful public affairs campaign to protect the long-term future of the property when doubts were raised in local politics, led the push for a master plan to restore the historic character of the course, and spearheaded community events that specifically target non-golfers in the community. The result is one of the best examples in the country of how a municipal golf course and its leadership can further ingrain themselves in a community and deliver a true asset to both golfers and non-golfers.
