Hacienda Golf Club announced today that it has been awarded the prestigious Distinguished Club award, as determined by the annual Distinguished Clubs award program conducted by BoardRoom magazine, one of the most respected trade publications serving private clubs.

“We’d like to congratulate Hacienda Golf Club for earning Distinguished Club status,” said John Fornaro, Publisher of BoardRoom magazine, “Special recognition also goes out to Hacienda Golf Club’s General Manger, Russell Sylte, PGA Master Professional as well as the club’s board of directors, its department heads, and entire staff for their efforts in providing an excellent member experience.”

San Juan Capistrano, CA, Russell Sylte, a mindful leader, general manager of 17 years and Master PGA Professional, asked his team of 13 department heads & managers if they would like to extend the Prevo 13-Week Leadership Engagement Program for an additional 13-weeks.The team unanimously agreed to not only participate, but they agreed to pay the additional fee personally as the line item was not in the current budget. Since, the club has agreed to invest into extending the program, understanding the importance of continued development of “Mindfulness Training” with the staff.
