Charles Merriman, CCM, San Diego Country Club | Episode No. 468

San Diego Country Club, established in 1897, is the only private club in Southern San Diego County. Originally located near Balboa Park, it moved to its current Chula Vista site in 1920, where architect William Watson designed the region’s first all-grass 18-hole course. Known for its rich history and championship pedigree, SDCC has hosted the U.S. Women's Open and U.S. Women's Amateur, and will host the U.S. Senior Women's Open in 2025. On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast, brought to you by Eden Mill St Andrews, Charles shares the story of his journey to San Diego Country Club, reflecting on his unique background as a former political campaign manager. He dives into his path with the CMAA, culminating in his achievement of becoming a Certified Club Manager. Charles also reminisces about his favorite Business Management Institute, discusses the impact mentors have had on his career, and reveals his leadership style and experiences living in San Diego.
