Circle of Influence

What does it take to rebuild a career, find your passion, and thrive in a male-dominated industry? In this episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, hosts Mike Mannino Sr. and Nareman Hamdan sit down with Kristine Bonham, a PGA Director of Instruction at Heritage Palms, to explore her journey in the world of golf.

Kristine shares how being furloughed during the pandemic became a turning point that led her deeper into teaching and coaching. She opens up about the challenges of being a woman in the golf industry, why mentorship and circle of influence are critical to success, and how she built a life of resilience through both golf and entrepreneurship.

From teaching thousands of lessons each year to creating programs that support veterans and survivors of human trafficking, Kristine reveals how golf is more than just a game — it’s a way to inspire, heal, and build community.
