AAG President Gregg Tryhus recently provided key insights on the strength and significance of the local golf industry during a presentation to the City of Scottsdale’s Economic Development Committee, underscoring golf’s vital role in shaping Scottsdale’s economy and identity.

Discussion topics ranged from golf’s ability to attract business and tourism, to the industry’s long-standing leadership in water conservation. The conversation also highlighted golf’s positive influence on property values and its deep-rooted contributions to Scottsdale’s lifestyle, culture, and community development since the city’s earliest days.
