Meet Lisa Wade! Although her official title is Marketing & Membership Director, her role extends beyond that. Lisa assists with accounting, events, administrative duties, and provides on-site tech support. She believes strongly in teamwork and is always ready to step into different roles to ensure the facility achieves their goals together as a team.
Facility Location: Hunting Creek Country Club, Prospect KY (HCCC)
How long you have been with Troon: I started at Hunting Creek Country Club in 2004 while completing my triple bachelor's degree. After a year away in 2008-2009 to have a baby, I returned HCCC and finished my double master's. I moved away in 2012 to care for my grandmother but came back in May 2018, when Troon took over management, I’ve been here ever since.
Reasons you stay active: I’ve been managing diabetes since childhood by counting carbs to control my diet, which helps me avoid medication. For fitness, I enjoy activities like playing on golf simulators in winter (I prefer this because I can always find my ball), couples dancing, cardio on hills, pickleball, swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, spearfishing, and deep-sea fishing. I also stay active by walking hilly terrain in the summer. My favorite thing to do at work is go for a walk to take pictures of our beautiful course for our social media.
For mental well-being, I book an annual cruise to explore new beaches. When I’m not at the beach, I love being outdoors, gardening with (7 different kinds) roses, (basil, parsley oregano, chives, pineapple, cucumbers, blackberries, tomatoes, and a banana tree) herbs, (5 different kinds) lilies, (9 different kinds) orchids, mangroves, and a bonsai tree.
Lisa is a true asset to her facility and Troon and also helps with the communications committee for the DE&I efforts. She helps with research, finding stories for us to share, and also creating some fun Reels for us to use to stay up to date with the latest in social media trends. Thank you for all you do Lisa to help your facility and beyond!
