World Golf Hall of Fame Member, Hale Irwin
Once in a while, one receives the privilege of meeting someone who achieves greatness or celebrity status in their respective field, whether it be in business, sports or another aspect of life.
We — and I say we, because several members of NORTH had the opportunity to spend a little time with the gentleman who graces this month’s edition of NORTH — Mr. Hale Irwin — the Honorary Chair of this year’s U.S. Senior Open.
Senior Writer Pam Bales had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to chat with Mr. Irwin, one-on-one, for nearly 90-minutes. While pieces of the story will be familiar to you, other insights may be new and inspiring as he presents himself as a man on life’s journey, just like the rest of us.

Meet Matt & Laura Parker
“It was appalling, this idea that people would buy kids for sex. I couldn’t stomach the thought. I just didn’t believe it at first.” — Matt Parker
“I remember sitting there, crying and thinking, ‘Okay, this is horribly tragic...’ And then I remember this moment… One of my kids came over and handed me a rock from the creek… And I heard this clear question in my spirit, ‘If it was your child, what would the answer be?’” — Laura Parker

BUSINESS & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS
A REAL BUSINESS PUBLICATION
So. Colorado is one of the steadiest and most concentrated economic development regions in the United States.
From aerospace and defense, to advanced manufacturing, to cybersecurity and dozens of other industry sectors, So. Colorado is now home to US SPACE COMMAND, five active military installations, and multiple industry clusters with a tremendous focus on workforce, education, and our nation’s security.
It’s also home to the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee, USOPC Training Center, UCOPC Museum, and 25 National Governing Bodies making it a prime destination for businesses in the amateur and collegiate sports industries.
THE MILITARY
Our military is one of the pillars of this unique community and its success.
Home to five active military installations – more than any other community in the US – we love our active duty and retired Service Members and Cadets and we want to show our appreciation through SOCO Digest each and every month.
We’re also keen to support the industries that support our military and space endeavors. Learn how your organization can join the conversation and be seen by others in this diverse and sophisticated business and innovation ecosystem.
ECONOMIC STRENGTH
Colorado Springs is the 39th largest GDP in the United States. Combine that with the surrounding communities of Pueblo, Monument, Canon City, Castle Rock and dozens more towns, So. Colorado is positioned perfectly to build and thrive various industries.
To ensure a strong and current economic knowledge base among our employers and workforce in the region, The Digest has partnered with the UCCS Economic Forum to distribute their Weekly, Monthly and Annual Economic Forum announcements.
