Fired from CEC and then hired by TG as their CEO. TG's last CEO, Artie Starrs, oversaw the sale of TG to a private equity firm and then dipped out to run Harley Davidson into the ground.
He oversaw some really interesting decisions. Two that come to mind 1) TG ditched Coke in favor of Pepsi. 2) When presented with a mountain of evidence as to why repeat business was so bad, he refused to make any changes, specifically in their pricing. If you look at TG's stock and the whole Calloway debacle, that was all Artie and his leadership.
There's nothing good about that company, be it the business side or the people side. If you want a job where you are assaulted and harassed on a regular basis (sexual or otherwise), if racism's your thing, if you want to work around people who think 16 YO's are fair game...TopGolf's your place.
So hiring someone who appears in the Epstein release, no matter how (allegedly) benign, is pretty on brand for the company.

The first sign of a failing business is replacing Coke wit Pepsi. There is a reason its cheaper to contract with Pepsi.
A TG vignette...there was a murder at a venue a few years ago. Two of the kitchen staff got into it and a little pew pew 187 happened.
Most nights a venue has one closing manager, some nights or in some venues you'll have two closing managers. This night there were two, the second is who we got the story from.
I don't know when they discovered the deceased, if it was during the shooting or they found the body when leaving the building. Regardless, it was immediately reported to the closing managers. One of whom...oh, boy.
Homie called the venue manager who told him to sit tight. The venue manager then dialed up someone at corporate and explained the situation. That person in turn called the closing manager and told them what to say when the police arrived.
And then gave them permission to call 911. The venue manager was enroute before the police and fire/ rescue.
The customers are ridiculous, just plain assholes. The prices are astronomical. The managers apathetic or have their hands tied. Some are outright, open shitbags. One sexually harassed a 17 YO and corporate did nothing (promoted him a year or so later) despite video evidence from TG's own security cameras. I could go on, it's just a rotten org.
