HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Golf Course Owners Association (PGCOA) has officially unveiled Mike Hendrix as its new Senior Technology & Data Advisor, a position sources confirm was created after a significant number of members struggled to locate the mute button during a recent virtual meeting.

Mr. Hendrix, whose previous experience includes resetting routers for his extended family and successfully pairing a Bluetooth speaker, will be tasked with guiding the association through the treacherous waters of 21st-century digital communication. His primary duties are expected to include explaining the difference between 'reply' and 'reply all,' ensuring webcam lenses are not obstructed by thumbs, and patiently reiterating that 'the cloud' is not, in fact, a weather phenomenon affecting tee times.

“Our members are experts in manicuring greens and optimizing fairway drainage, not necessarily in optimizing their Wi-Fi signal,” stated PGCOA President, Bartholomew 'Barty' Putterman, in a statement that was initially sent as a fax before being re-sent as a heavily compressed JPEG via email. “Mike is here to bridge that gap, ensuring that when we say 'join the Zoom call,' they don't interpret it as an instruction to shout into their landline.”

Industry analysts suggest the move is a proactive step to prevent future incidents, such as the infamous 'unmuted dog barking' debacle of last quarter, or the time a board member accidentally shared his screen showing a detailed analysis of his fantasy football league. Hendrix is reportedly already developing a comprehensive tutorial titled, 'Is It Plugged In?'

The PGCOA anticipates that with Hendrix's guidance, members will soon be able to participate in online meetings without inadvertently broadcasting their golf swing practice or asking if anyone else can see the little spinning wheel.
