Spieth has become an investor in Invited and will be a strategic advisor and brand ambassador for the company.

Dallas-based Invited—the leading owner-operator of private golf and country clubs and city and stadium clubsin North America—just teed up a partnership with one of the top players in golf: Dallas native and three-time major championship winner Jordan Spieth.

Under the partnership, Spieth has become an investor in Invited and will be a strategic advisor and brand ambassador for the company.

Spieth’s charity, the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation, will also partner with Invited on charitable and community efforts benefitting youth organizations, American veterans and military families.

Invited plans to host events at Invited clubs across the U.S. to raise funds for Spieth’s Foundation, and will create further member programming to support the efforts.

Spieth grew up playing at Invited’s Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas

“I was introduced to the game and grew up playing at Invited’s first club—Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas,” Spieth said in a statement.

I’ve witnessed first-hand how Invited clubs unite people and build relationships that reach well beyond its fairways, greens, and courts.”

Spieth added that he aims to work with the Invited team “to help grow the company and leverage their unmatched platform to create an even greater impact in our communities.

The partnership makes perfect sense as golf continues to expand in exciting ways, reaching new audiences while growing the impact on those who need a helping hand.”

Invited owns 200 clubs in 29 states—and seven BigShots Golf venues

Invited owns 200 clubs in 29 different states, and has become  a player in high-tech golf entertainment with seven BigShots Golf venues. Founded in 1957 and formerly known as ClubCorp, the company rebranded as Invited last April for a new high-tech era of “democratized” golf.

Dallas Innovates talked with Invited CEO David Pillsbury last year about his $100 million BigShots expansion plan and more.

“Golf is a big deal in Dallas and has been for many, many years,” Pillsbury told us last year. “Go back to the history of Byron Nelson. [Invited] has been here since 1957.

We think Dallas has taken its rightful place as a golf Mecca, and we’re just delighted with the number of golf companies that have come to Dallas.”

Today, Pillsbury called Spieth’s achievements as a player “astonishing.”

“And while he has already accomplished more on the course than most will in a career, his focus on philanthropy and altruism will leave an even greater impact than any trophies he lifts,” Pillsbury said in a statement.

“We take great pride in our clubs and the ways in which they connect social, charitable, family and business elements of a community.

We see an incredible opportunity to have Jordan’s investment and expertise join in the momentum our clubs have as pillars and hubs in the communities we call home.”

Spieth has deep Dallas ties

Spieth was born in Dallas and attended St. Monica Catholic School before graduating from Jesuit Dallas in 2011. As a young player, he honed his skills at Brookhaven before winning the U.S. Junior Amateur title in 2009 and 2011—the only player besides Tiger Woods to win that championship twice. He went on to turn pro and has won three major championships to date.

In 2015, Spieth bought a $7.1 million, 10,728-square foot home in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas from fellow pro golfer Hunter Mahan, according to Trulia.

Spieth’s family foundation is also based in Dallas.

Revealed: Alex Eala revealed Greatest lesson she learned from Rafael Nadal

Published

By

LITERALLY living inside the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy in Mallorca, Spain for three years and counting, Filipina ace Alex Eala observed firsthand how tennis champions are made.

In fact, in some way, the 15-year-old sees herself treading the same ground and facing the same challenges as World No. 2 Rafael Nadal himself, who again bagged another Slam in his pocket today, after defeating World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in straight sets, in the French Open tournament.

It also helped, too, that she literally sees him on the court.

“Oftentimes, he plays beside me or on the court next to me. It’s so inspiring, even if you’re just watching him play from afar, you can learn a lot,” Eala said during a virtual press conference with the Philippine media on Sunday night.

Aside from being an oustanding athlete and tennis coach, she also considers the 34-year-old Nadal as an inspiring mentor.

“One of the biggest things I can take away from Rafa is his humility. [He’s] so grounded. He’s achieved more than I can dream of, and the fact that he’s achieved so much and he’s still very nice to everyone here, so down-to-earth, it’s very admirable for him,” she said.

It’s from him that Alex takes inspiration in celebrating her success in a very modest way. Just last Friday, she made the whole country proud after a gallant semifinals finish in her French Open stint.

Eala lost to Elsa Jacquemot, conceding the home ground to the French netter, 6-3, 6-2

Austin Butler reflects on Paul McCartney’s house party with Taylor Swift

Austin Butler just shared the details of his wild night at Paul McCartney’s house party.

The star-studded affair was not only the most “insane” time Butler’s had in a while, but it was the most glamorous, being surrounded by his childhood icons and legendary music artists like Meryl Streep and Bruce Springsteen.

Butler, 32, reflected on the experience while speaking with Jimmy Kimmel, who was also lucky enough to be at the party. During the June 17 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the two gushed about having last seen each other at McCartney’s house.

“Last time I saw you was at maybe the craziest party I’ve ever been to in my whole life,” Kimmel, 56, admitted before Butler agreed: “That was insane.”

Kimmel noted: “It was like a party where Tom Hanks is going: ‘Oh my God, can you believe who’s here?!’”

Emblem rockers like Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ringo Starr graced McCartney’s home, leaving Hollywood’s elite to mingle with music royalty, the pair said. Even Taylor Swift was there, according to Butler and Kimmel.

The Elvisstar said the “Anti-Hero” singer wasn’t a normal guest, she was the DJ. “Yeah, she was DJing at one point,” Butler told Kimmel, who then quipped about how Swift isn’t booked and busy enough, she must oversee the music for McCartney’s party, too.

While Swift’s appearance may have been cause for celebration among some of the other guests, Butler confessed a different idol sent him into complete awe. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Meryl Streep in the same room as him.

“She’s just the greatest. I felt like, you know in high school when you have a crush on somebody and they’re across the room and you don’t really know how to say hello to them?” he said. “That’s how it was. I saw her there and I couldn’t believe I was in the same room.”

Too star-struck to approach the It’s Complicatedlead himself, Butler headed into McCartney’s kitchen to bide his time and eat some vegan pizza. Thankfully, his friend offered to introduce him and Streep.

“I couldn’t believe I was meeting Meryl Streep with Paul McCartney’s vegan pizza in my mouth,” Butler confessed.

He was then pulled into a circle of people he couldn’t pass the opportunity to spend time with. Butler was invited to “have tacos with Snoop Dogg and Robert De Niro.”

“I dropped everything I was doing and I was there in a heartbeat,” he told Kimmel.

Another crazy conversation Butler had was with Bruce Springsteen. The 74-year-old recounted a time when he was fearless, hopping the fence at Graceland to sing Elvis Presley a song.

Butler had heard rumors that Springsteen had done that but wasn’t sure it was true until he confirmed. Of course, Presley wasn’t there when Springsteen approached his front door.
