    Early Life

    Seth Waugh was born on November 4, 1957, and he grew up in Ayer, Massachusetts. Seth has said that his father, James, who passed away at the age of 95 in 2022, was a coach and a teacher. In a 2022 interview with "Global Golf Post," Waugh credited James with inspiring his approach to leadership, stating, "At Lawrenceville, where he worked and where I went to high school, he used the Harkness system in his teaching. That employs an oval table that has room for 12 people, a teacher and 11 students, and your participation around that table counts for 50 percent of your grade. The idea is for that to be a place where people could exchange ideas, express their own and listen to others, with the teacher guiding the discussions but never really leading them. Dad was very Socratic in his thinking, and when I think of leadership, I think of that table and that approach, of how to build consensus and to learn from other people and figure out ways to move forward together." Seth attended Amherst College, earning Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Economics.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Waugh created the Back2Golf program to inspire people to get back to the golf course. He told "Global Golf Post" in May 2022, "We saw golf as a safe and very good mental and physical outlet for people who wanted to be outside and doing something active, and to be able to do that with others but in ways that promoted social distancing. It really helped bring people we had lost back to golf, and it introduced a lot of folks to it for the first time."
