Olympic View Golf Club Apprentice Gordy Scutt beat a star-studded group of regional recipients to become the 2013 PGA of BC Apprentice of the Year.

Scutt balances a successful playing career with his work with the Olympic View team.

Scutt believes in a philosophy that great leaders inspire others to become leaders, not followers.

"At our facility, where there are mostly experienced golf professionals," said Scutt, "the thing that we inspire each other to do is 'Do your best every day.' We, as a team, try our best to exceed expectations in every chance we get."

Scutt said his success can be measured in the Olympic View team's success, such as increasing gross sales and gross margin percentages. In addition, Scutt has increased his own teaching and coaching revenues while also increasing the numbers for Olympic View's Men's Night.

"While bringing new members is important, the thing I am most proud of is the atmosphere I have helped to create that makes people want to be around the facility and the game in general," said Scutt. "I look forward to continuing to grow the game of golf and build my career within the industry."

Hearty congratulations to Gordy Scutt of Olympic View, the PGA of BC's 2013 Apprentice of the Year.
