Slow Sips, Smooth Swings — a beginner-friendly golf series co-designed by Pacific Bogey Club (PBC), Starbucks, and First Tee Seattle — is proving that golf in the workplace is more than a perk: it’s a powerful tool for connection. The inaugural program sold out in just 24 hours, signaling a clear appetite for experiences that bring colleagues together in new, meaningful ways.

This milestone partnership was spearheaded by Tuan Do, whose vision and leadership made it possible for PBC to join forces with Starbucks’ team. Her mission was simple yet ambitious: create opportunities for co-workers to connect, grow, and discover the joy of golf. Blending her passion for community with PBC’s ethos of making the game accessible and inclusive resulted in an event that was both fun and transformative.

First Tee Seattle played a central role, delivering a curriculum that wove in life skills alongside the fundamentals of the game. Coaches Leslie Guzman and Evan, alongside their team, brought an inspiring mix of expertise and mentorship — reminding participants that golf is more than a sport. It’s a lifelong teacher of confidence, respect, and perseverance.

The success of Slow Sips, Smooth Swings also underscores the power of connection in the golf community. A special nod goes to Rho Pollard, who introduced PBC to Kathy, making this collaboration possible.

With momentum already building, PBC and Starbucks are poised to expand their impact — redefining what workplace wellness, team building, and corporate culture can look like when golf is at the center.

PORTLAND, Ore. — What started as a Pacific Bogey Club community meet-up has quickly become one of the most anticipated stops on the regional golf calendar. The PDX Invitational, brought together golfers from across the Pacific Northwest for a day that was equal parts competition and connection. 

Hosted in collaboration with Flush Golf Portland, the event drew a diverse field — from scratch players to weekend warriors — united by a shared love for the game and an appetite for good vibes. While the leaderboard mattered to some, the day’s real story unfolded between shots: strangers becoming friends, teams rallying together, and the unmistakable hum of a community that shows up for each other.

From creative hole challenges to post-round hangs, the PDX Invitational proved that golf is as much about belonging as it is about birdies. For Pacific Bogey Club, it was another chapter in a growing movement to make the game more welcoming, inclusive, and unforgettable.

SNOQUALMIE, WA — February 2025
 The WestCoast Winter Scramble happened this year with Pacific Bogey Club & OMG Jeremy bringing together golfers from across the region for a day that proved the weather can’t cool the game’s best vibes. Teams bundled up against the winter chill, navigating creative hole challenges, tight fairways, and the occasional sideways rain.

Despite the conditions, the energy stayed high — laughter on the tee box, cheers from the greens, and plenty of post-round storytelling in the clubhouse. True to PBC form, the day blended competition with community, showing once again that the WestCoast Winter Scramble is as much about the people as it is about the scorecard.
