Founder

Madison Green

I believe that golf is more than just a sport—it's a tapestry of character, values, and timeless moments. It's where everyone, regardless of background or status, can come together and share a passion. A game that tells tales about a person more than words ever could. It's a realm where you should be unapologetically you, whether that means sporting the quirkiest attire or simply enjoying a chilled drink as you wait for your turn. In this world, a hearty laugh is just as crucial as a 300-yard drive, and while being able to count your strokes is handy, cherishing each one is everything.

Golf stands as a testament to our beliefs: that traditions can be honored, while making room for innovation; that the sport should be accessible; and that it's high time the greens echoed with more laughter, flair, and vigor. We hold onto the conviction that every round should be an adventure, everyone’s attire a statement, and every player a testament to the joyous, fun-filled future we envision for golf.

In Texas, we're known for our tenacity, our ability to forge ahead with vigor and determination. It's this very Texas spirit that breathes life into Madison Green. Texas has given the world legendary golfers like Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, who not only mastered their craft but also embodied the spirit of golf as we see it – a blend of grit, grace, and unyielding passion. Their legacies remind us that golf is more than a game; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of those who play it.

This; is why I started Madison Green.

Be you, play fast, and remember... slow golf really does; suck.

Co-Founder, CTO

Spoke Marketing, LLC

Spoke is a full-service marketing agency for entrepreneurs and emerging businesses.

In the past, small businesses were successful because they had great products, great services, or great connections. It was rarely because of great marketing.

Until now.

We work with clients to create their sales and marketing plan, then deliver each element they need to execute it successfully.

We are a small shop by design (four partners), but our bench is strong, deep, and virtual. When we need an expert, chances are we’ve got one on speed dial.

Partner, Chief Marketing Officer

Admeyer Marketing, LLC

Admeyer Marketing provided full service marketing to small businesses, start-ups, and franchisors. As I developed a loyal (and growing) client base, my agency did an increasing amount of work with three other companies: Avalanche Marketing, Chuck Hart Design, and Creative Reason. 

The more we worked together, the more it became clear that we were on to something good. Our personalities, professional strengths and values continued to mesh, and our clients continued to flourish.

Spoke Marketing, LLC was launched October 1, 2008.

President

Rio Creative

Sales Promotion agency that services Anheuser-Busch.  My "partners" were a husband and wife team.  Yes, it was as bad an idea as it sounds.

CreativeWorks

Seemed like such a good idea at the time.  Full service ad agencies in storefronts.  Think Kinko's on steroids.  I put deals together with American Express, Staples, The SBA, SCORE and other organizations targeting small businesses.
We were underfunded and struggling before 9/11...and shuttered shortly thereafter.

For more details, you're going to have to buy me a cigar and a maker's mark on the rocks.
