Welcome to Tee Time with Audrey!
I’m Audrey Tully – golf entrepreneur, avid fan of the game, and your new #1 hype man! Every Tuesday, I will be “spilling the tea” on all things golf, business, and life!
What to Expect Each Week
While the primary focus for each blog post will be on exploring the intersection of golf, business, tech, and life, no topics are off limits (just to keep things spicy). My promise to readers is that golf will be folded neatly into each post somewhere to maintain a common theme.
Tee Time with Audrey’s Origin Story
The premise of this blog initially stemmed from wanting to document the trek into the world of entrepreneurship as I build Bluebird Golf Company, a golf tech and lifestyle business venture, over the next year. I am launching a few months earlier than planned, mostly out of the need to stay engaged and motivated as I recover from a recent knee injury that has me down for the count for the entirety of the 2023 season.
Injury as Inspiration
While extremely inconvenient, said injury and impending [insert anything that could tear in your knee] surgery, slowed me down in a number of ways that have proven to be very beneficial. Here’s a few take aways:
Being sidelined has gifted me the opportunity to rest, reflect, and recognize my growth on and off the course. I’ve come far from being a player who only showed up for the hot dogs and often displayed a disproportionate level of indifference to allergy medication for someone who is crippled by pollen.
The forced sabbatical from golf has also allowed me to reevaluate how I am showing up as a leader across all areas of my life, including within the golf community. I preach inclusion and accessibility, but am I really doing all I can to advance the game? No.
As an avid golfer, entrepreneur, and champion of inclusion, I’ve always believed in the power of sports to bring people together across barriers of all kinds. While deeply infuriating, golf has personally been a powerful tool for growth. Sharing in the benefits with others has been a treat.
My Intentions
For these reasons amongst others, and with the aim of fostering inclusivity, accessibility, and diversity within the sport, I am committed to using this platform to inspire and empower people, especially women, to take up the game.
This is the next step in doing my part to encourage change across the golf industry. Looking forward to the path ahead and to being your empowering, bright light, of a hype caddie or whatever I am to you.
Just be sure to mark your calendars for your standing tee time with me every Tuesday. Don’t be late, I’ll tee off with or without you.
