“I would want to create experiences,” he said, mentioning an interest in course design. “Having an amazing practice facility and short game area, and on every golf course I built, having an academy attached to help grow the game. The things that golf instills in people, the work ethic, the determination, the responsibility, the time management; there are so many things you learn on the golf course that help you later in life. I’d want to build facilities that helped, where children could learn that—but my greens would be pretty difficult!”

He added the last comment with a laugh, explaining that he’d love to design golf courses with numerous tee box options, so that better golfers could have a TOUR-like experience but that kids and beginners could still have a good time. And good food, of course.

“With Hublot it’s been an amazing crew and an amazing company to be with because we feel they’re just as determined to strive to be the best. They want to be the best with their product but also they’re about how they treat people with their customer service. We’re so determined to get to No.1 and while we’re doing that to help grow the game, but also when we’re out here to try to help out as much as possible. It’s a great relationship.”

Committed to his family, and with his partnerships and goals aligned, Reed remains focused on the course in front of him. That might include questions, but it will also include plenty of good times, great food, and plans for the future—which certainly will involve family.

“I love being at home,” Reed said, after reflecting on a schedule that’s had him traveling something like 40,000 miles since last October. “I love being with the kiddos, spending time with them. But with our job, we know we have to travel. When you’re traveling, that means usually you’re doing the right thing, you’re playing well, getting into more events. But that just makes you cherish the moments when you’re actually at home. And then, I’ll get to see [the kids] in the morning before they go to school. I’ll go to practice while they’re at school so I won’t miss them, and then by the time they’re coming home I’m already home. You get time with family, and it’s not in the way of me working. It’s all about balance.”
