Biography

A native of Detroit, John Guy is a graduate of Michigan State University where he studied Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management. Guy worked for ClubCorp, a worldwide club management company, where he enjoyed an 18-year career managing various clubs.

Following ClubCorp, Guy transitioned to the member-owned side of the private club industry, where he served as General Manager of The Standard Club of Chicago for 11 years.

After The Standard Club, Guy decided to expand his experience to include country club management and in 2009 became the General Manager of Northwood Club (sight of the 1952 U.S. Open) in Dallas, Texas.
