Passionately Unified With Annalise Shigenaka
Annalise Shigenaka
Marketing Coordinator
Irvine, CA Corporate Office
The Troon value that resonates most with me is “passionately unified.” I think collaboration is so fun in my job, because I get to learn from and work alongside talented people.
Q: Please describe what you do at Troon.
A: I’m a Marketing Coordinator at Troon, working with Tom Prince! We oversee the Sales and Marketing efforts for around 30 clubs in the West region, including Hawaii. My job entails website and email designs, social media collaboration, creation of flyers and varied collateral for the clubs’ programming and assistance with annual marketing plans.
Q: We heard your family plays golf and you’ve just started to learn – what do you like most about the game?
A: A handful of my family members are into golf, and I was raised around all types of sports. I am in the early stages of my golfing career. I have taken a few lessons, and it has humbled me to my core. The sport is super fun and inclusive, which is perfect for me because I’m still learning.
Q: Why do you think Family Golf Month is important for Troon to promote?
A: I think Family Golf Month is important for Troon to promote, because it encourages new golfers to go out and play. It’s a fun way to create engagement at the facility and creates memorable experiences that can lead to more people getting hooked on the game.
Q: When you’re able to visit the facilities that you help to promote, what is one thing you like to do while you are there or what is one takeaway from being able to see the facilities and people on property?
A: I absolutely LOVE meeting the on-site team that I support virtually. It’s so much fun to connect in person. I also enjoy seeing the guests playing the course and having a great time. It makes me excited about the work that we’re doing.
Q: When you’re not at work, what do you like to do?
A: Over the past year I’ve really been into cycle classes and staying active that way. I love music and it’s a fun community to be a part of while getting a good workout in!
