Pask joins the team with a host of experience in the golf industry, having previously served as Senior Vice President at IMG for over 20 years – heading up a number of areas within the Golf, Advisory, Academy, Olympic and Sports Infrastructure areas. "It is a pleasure to support the team at Golf Genius, having got to know them over many years. They have created an amazing business, backed up by world class software and people, and as the golf ecosystem looks to engage with technology and data in a meaningful way there is a huge opportunity for Golf Genius to build on these amazing foundations,” comments Michael Pask, Taliesin Advisory.
