Denver Golf Welcomes New Golf Advisory Board Members

Kennedy
Chris Ashburn
Chris plays Kennedy several times a month, as well as other Denver courses.
He will bring his inside insight and ideas to the board, and wants to help grow the
game and make the Denver courses the best they can be. We would like to welcome
Chris to the team and are excited to hear and explore his ideas about growing the
game.
Share your ideas for Kennedy with Chris by emailing him at

Harvard Gulch
Ryo Sueda

Ryo is a local living in the Harvard Gulch neighborhood and has frequented Harvard Gulch Golf Course since 2019. He spent many early mornings during the week pushing his newborn around and playing an easy 9-holes when no one was around. It was an escape for him to be with his son and get a round in before work or a day of chores at home. As a nurse working on an oncology floor, he had 4 days off during the week and took full advantage of it by playing at Harvard Gulch. In 2020 when the pandemic hit,  golf took a back seat, but he hopes to start going to the course again now that the pandemic is starting to ebb here in Denver. We appreciate his service as a nurse and welcome him to the Golf Advisory Board.

Share your ideas for Harvard Gulch with Ryo by emailing him at
