The Range | Season 2 | Episode 2 - The Cactus Club & Impact Golf Studios

What happens when a former college golfer and golf tech insider decides to build a club for the rest of us? In this episode, Ari sits down with Terence Daniels, founder of The Cactus Club, to talk about why most golfers don’t need another gate code - they need a community.

From his early days playing junior tournaments in Bermuda to competing at Grand Canyon University and working at companies like Trackman and CoachNow, Terence has always been immersed in the game. But it was his experience in golf tech that revealed a major gap: millions of everyday players weren’t being served by the traditional golf model. That insight sparked The Cactus Club—a digital-first, locally rooted community for Arizona golfers built on content, conversation, and connection.

And while the podcast focuses on community building, it’s worth noting that Terence also recently launched Impact Golf Studios - a content platform delivering Tactics, Trends & Tools for golf brands and operators. It’s designed to help those behind the scenes of the game stay sharp, strategic, and ahead of the curve.

🎯 Topics covered:

 – The overlooked opportunity beyond private clubs
 – Building a golf newsletter people actually read
 – The 10-hour-a-week rule for creators
 – Lessons from Trackman, CoachNow, and golf tech
 – How Terence is thinking about monetization, membership, and expansion
 – Why the business side of golf needs better content and smarter tools
