Eagling the Long Par Five
Brendan Wright, Program Manager for our Golf & Country Club Insurance Program, may be a mid-handicapper on the course but dangle a challenge in front of him on the job, and the man behind Paragon’s golf program transforms into Scottie Scheffler… without the mug shot, of course.
For evidence, look no further than last holiday, when we received a hot lead calling for a brutally tight turnaround time. Shady Canyon, one of California’s top golf clubs, found itself deep in the rough, having to find an insurance program with equal caliber for their prestigious layout. Challenge accepted.
Enter Brendan, whose commitment to our clients and their needs allowed him to deliver a bogey-free performance and a top-notch proposal in just eight days. It’s not just about being fast, in fact, it rarely is. Brendan’s focus is always on coming up with a program that fits the client’s risks, needs and expectations. Here it is right from the man himself.
“Insurance suffers from the public perception of an old, slow, and rigid industry. Shifting that perception is our motivation with interaction we have in the market. This pushes us, utilizing expediency, adaptability, and creativity to provide a better user experience for our customers.“
Brendan Wright, SVP – Program Manager
To say the Shady Canyon team was pleased with what he was able to achieve would be an understatement.
“I have worked with a lot of people and organizations over the course of my career,” the club owner wrote in an email. “It is exceedingly rare to come across people with the level of drive, dedication, and professionalism that [Paragon] displayed throughout this process.”
In golf parlance, Brendan eagled a long par five, proving Paragon’s commitment to serving our clients, being flexible in dire times and, importantly, capacity for large courses.
No Yips Here

“We embrace complex challenges that allow us to demonstrate our industry expertise, creativity, and underwriting acumen. More importantly, we have a customer focused approach to underwriting, where we utilize our experience and attentiveness to create positive outcomes for our insureds.”
Brendan Wright, SVP – Program Manager
What exactly makes Brendan’s program so great? Other than the man himself, the program offers tailored coverage for ground and greens, artificial water hazards, errant ball coverage and more. And who makes a better caddy than a team of dedicated underwriters and Paragon’s risk control team? We are here to help you navigate the hazards of whatever the future may hold. After all, in golf and in insurance, it pays to have a reliable game plan.
