Jack Diehl, PGA
Twenty years inside America’s most exclusive private clubs. Now hosting invitation-only journeys.
What I’ve always
wanted to host.
Life List Golf exists because the best weeks of a member’s golf life are rarely the ones he books himself. They are the ones his professional walks him through — the host who already knows the room, the round, and the night before the round.
The passion is the room. The trust is the unlock. The product is the week between those two sentences — championship golf, the romance of the country, and the long table at the end of the day.
I built private clubs for twenty years.
Now I build private weeks.
My career has been spent inside America’s most exclusive private clubs — Snowmass, Greystone, Magnolia Creek, Rio Grande, Bay Creek, Country Club of Landfall — running golf operations, hospitality, instruction, and tournament programs at facilities with budgets up to $12 million and initiation fees to $140,000.
Before that, I produced an international pro-am series — Synergy Golf Pro-ams — bringing PGA professionals and their amateurs to some of golf’s most desirable venues. Up to six events a year, with budgets to $300,000 each. That’s the work I’ve been quietly preparing to come back to.
Life List Golf is what I’ve always wanted to host: the right eight people, the most outstanding golf available, and the romance and magic of the destination — under the Tuscan sun, on the Ionian, on the cliffs of the Silver Coast. By invitation. PGA member to member.

The stories that shaped the place
Three reasons I had to build it.
01
Because the room comes first.
You can match price. You can match quality. You will always lose to the person who was there for the memorable occasions — the catalyst who makes dreams a life-list reality. The people who come on a Life List event come because we’ve already built that trust.
02
Because access beats logistics.
The dinners, the tee times, the cellars — they exist because of relationships built over twenty years inside private clubs. That’s what you’re paying for. The rest is paperwork.
03
Because I already know the answer.
One PGA pro, three amateurs, the spouses who travel with them. That’s every group. The job isn’t to ask what you want — it’s to deliver a week your friends will expect more of their adventures.
“Make your list. Work your list. Achieve your best life list.”
