Say hello to your team

Mark Farrow has been a Class A member of the PGA since 1996. His golf career began in Ontario, Canada where he started working at Hidden Lake Golf and Country Club at age 13. By age 18 Mark earned a golf scholarship to Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio where he played on the golf team and graduated with his BA in Economics. After graduation, Mark moved to Orlando.

Mark quickly became a key person in the growth and development of International Golf Management (IGM), a Florida-based regional golf course management, maintenance, and ownership company. In 1997 IGM merged with Meadowbrook Golf Group and after serving as a Regional Manager, Mark was promoted to Director of Acquisitions where he was instrumental in completing the $150M purchase of KSL Fairways, making Meadowbrook the third-largest multi-course operator at the time.

In 2002 Mark and the COO of Meadowbrook broke off and purchased Remington Golf Club in Kissimmee FL from Club Corp. One year later the group also purchased Kissimmee Bay CC. While operating the facilities, Mark also served as the Executive Director of the Florida chapter of the NGCOA and founded a third-party accounting firm that served the needs of golf courses for six years during this time. His interest in digital marketing lead to exploring website design and SEO for small businesses.

In 2014, Mark saw the opportunity to become the first hire at Teesnap golf course POS. During his time at Teesnap, he had a hand in nearly everything from Development, Support, Sales, Marketing, Account Management, and more. Mark’s Managed Marketing Services (MMS) product grew, managing over 170 golf course marketing plans for clients in just two years.

In April of 2020, Mark joined the foreUP team as Director of foreUP Marketing Services (fMS) to start up our services division. In two and a half years the department has grown to 10 employees and over 2M in sales.

Mark enjoys learning new technology, playing golf with his family, and spending his free time in the gym.

The golf industry has been my career for 35 years, and I have worked in all aspects of the business. I started my adventure in golf in 1987 at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida, where I booked tee times for guests at the local golf courses in the area. That afforded me the opportunity to begin playing golf, which led to my first on-course position at Pelican’s Nest Golf Club. I have been lucky enough to have worked at several other well known public and private golf facilities over the years.

It’s all in who you know… In 2015, I met Mark Farrow when he was part of Teesnap. Mark brought me on to his Managed Marketing Services division at Teesnap after a chance meeting at the PGA Show in 2018. When Mark made the transition to foreUP, I soon followed, and here we are today.

As an owner of several businesses, I developed a strong work ethic, communication skills and organizational structure that has formed the foundation of my career. My marketing proficiencies include graphic design, digital marketing, website management, database marketing, SEO, social media, Google platforms and all aspects of client support & customer service.

I reside in sunny Southwest Florida with my husband of 30 years. I have two adult daughters and two pups. I enjoy all sports, cooking, renovation projects and relaxing at home.

Originally from Northern Illinois, I'm a proud military wife (Go Army) and mother (Go Navy) who currently lives in Savannah, GA. I have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts (concentration in journalism) as that was the degree du jour of the late 90's before the internet was everything.

With my hopes of winning a pulitzer dashed along with the newspaper industry, I was lucky to transition to the internet age with a job as a managing editor on a NASCAR news website in the early 2000's. Living in Florida and loving spending days on the beach with my young son Tre, I met my husband who whisked us away to a life molded by the military.

We welcomed our daughter Aurelia and I enjoyed several years of a career raising my children before returning to work as a Jane-of-all-trades contractor helping small businesses develop their digital marketing platforms. One of my clients, a prestigious private golf club in South Carolina, opened the door to exploring how my past experience could merge with the world of golf.

When deciding to return to the workforce full-time I had two goals in mind: to be able to work remotely and to be able to help golf courses develop strong and effective marketing campaigns utilizing all these amazing tools that our digital world provides.

I'm happy to be the partner you can count on to achieve your marketing goals. I strive to develop professional, polished, brand-aware content to attract new golfers and keep your current golfers intrigued and informed. I love being able to take an idea born from a conversation while brainstorming to a successful outreach and engagement for your business.

When not working with my courses, I enjoy developing my daughter's love of baking, pestering my son with tons of questions about what's happening in his world, spending endless moments laughing with my husband, and nurturing all of my baby plants.

Meredith's experience in the golf world began straight out of college where she became a Marketing Assistant at Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck. As luck would have it, that is also where she met her husband, who was the Director of Grounds at the time.

Through the following 12 years, Meredith advanced her career as the Marketing Director for Laurel Creek Country Club (6 seasons) and then as the Director of Membership & Marketing and Golf Outing Sales at Montclair Golf Club (3 seasons) until she started her family in December of 2018. The following few years, Meredith worked as a freelance design and marketing consultant for various industries until she came across the opportunity to combine her passion for design and her experience in the golf industry into one and become a foreUP Marketing Representative.

Meredith attended Miami University (Ohio) where she received a full scholarship to continue her field hockey career as a Division I athlete and graduated with a Bachelors in Health & Sports Studies. As a born and raised Jersey Shore girl, Meredith's free time includes making memories with her family at their beach house - enjoying the boardwalk, concerts or simply relaxing with her feet in the sand, 'glamping' up and down the East Coast and just about anything outdoors! To accompany her passion for sports, Meredith is an avid New York Mets and Miami Dolphins fan. Meredith is married to her husband, Tyler, and has two children, Charlie and Sienna.

I’m a knowledgeable digital marketer with strong experience in content creation. I have worked both in a digital marketing agency and in a client-based environment. I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. My expertise includes, but is not limited to, search engine optimization, social media marketing (paid and organic), email marketing, digital content creation, website development and expansion, blog post innovation, and so much more.

As for my personal life, I love exploring Eastern North Carolina beaches with my husband and our two beautiful daughters. My husband is an active duty Marine, so anytime we can have quality time together as a family we take advantage of it.

I look forward to working with you and your club!

Scott grew up in St. Charles, Missouri where he learned the game of golf from his mother at a local course. From 9 holes after school to a full round on the weekends, all the practice and time lead to the high school golf team. After the completion of high school, golf was put on the back burner and the University of Missouri (MIZZOU) was the main focus!

During his time at Mizzou, Scott majored in Textile and Apparel Management with an emphasis in Marketing and Merchandising, while also completing a minor in Business Administration. In December 2012 school was complete, and the next chapter commenced.

Scott moved to Orlando, Florida and decided he would figure it all out once he made it to the warm weather. After a few jobs here and there he received an offer to move even further south to Bonita Springs, Florida where he rekindled his love for golf at Bonita Bay Club. Starting in outside guest services, he quickly moved inside to become an Assistant Retailer. From there he moved up to Assistant Retail Manager, where he spent the previous six years. Eight years in total at Bonita Bay Club in the private sector of the golf industry, and he was ready to grow!

In February 2022, an opportunity presented itself to join foreUP Marketing services, and he jumped at the chance to learn an entirely different part of the industry. Growing every day, he is always ready for a challenge!

Scott's favorite things include family, fitness, food, hockey, and travel! Combine any of those things together, and he'll be there!

Brooks Mires - Graduated from Western Michigan University. I currently live in Mason, MI, which is right outside of Lansing. I enjoy watching sports and also betting on them. Not only that, but I love golf, even though I am terrible at it ... STILL. My favorite place to visit is Charleston, South Carolina because of my cousins and the South Carolina Gamecocks!

I graduated from Central Michigan University with a bachelors in Advertising. I've lived in Michigan my whole life and I believe it truly is the best state! When I'm not working you can find me hanging out with my dog or cheering on the Lions. Hopefully I'll see the Lions win a Super Bowl during my lifetime! During the Summer I love going to outdoor concerts and trying out new breweries.

Jake is your everyday golfer who's favorite pastime is spending the day on the course with his dad and golf buddies. Born and raised in Kokomo, Indiana, where he currently resides with his wife, he's been involved in golf in almost every capacity you could think of over the span of 15+ years. I have played competitively in middle school through college, while working at a golf course in high school. Prior to working here at foreUP, he was the Director of Golf at a local facility. He was also the Communication Manager for a golf management company, and produced writings for some of Golf Digest's Top 50 Instructors.

He graduated from Manchester University in 2017 with a Marketing and Sales degree, respectively, and has a passion for the golf industry. In addition, he has also worked in many facets of marketing as a freelancer working with local businesses to help them with their marketing needs like copywriting, video production, graphic design, and website design. He looks to combine his knowledge and passion of the golf industry with his marketing skills to provide golf courses and operators with exceptional results.

When not on the course, he enjoys spending his time with his wife, going to the gym, playing guitar and hanging out with his family!

I am passionate about all sports but especially golf and softball. During my time at Tiffin University, I played collegiate softball at the NCAA Division II level while obtaining my Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Sports Management. While at school, I completed a summer internship with a local course and fell in love with the game of golf and how it operates. After graduation, I stayed with this course as their Banquet Captain and Marketing Specialist and gained valuable knowledge about foreUP and the golf industry. About six months later, I got hired on as a Marketing Specialist here at foreUP.

Besides golf, I like to watch softball, whether that be collegiate or my cousin's travel ball games. Eventually, I would also like to be in a coaching role for a softball team, whether it be high school or travel ball. When I am not working, my time consists of traveling, entertaining my Australian Shepherd, and being active at my local church.
