Digital Media Interns

Marin Shutty


I am from Gaithersburg, Maryland and just graduated from Ole Miss this past May. I majored in Integrated Marketing and Communications with a minor in Business and a specialization in Sports Promotion. During my senior year I was an intern with Ole Miss Athletics working for their Marketing and Fan Experience Department. I have always had a passion to work in the sports industry and am extremely excited to spend this fall with the STPGA. In my free time I like to relax at the beach, hang out with friends and family, and go to the gym.

Stephen Boyd


I was born and raised here in Houston, Texas and I currently attend Prairie View A&M University majoring in Digital Media. Golf has always been apart of who I am since my days as a junior golfer until now. I attended Langham Creek High School where I played varsity for all 4 years and then proceeded to play Division I collegiate golf at Prairie View A&M University. Im looking forward to my internship with the STPGA this fall and graduating from school this December.

Operations Interns

Audrey Irwin


Hello, I’m Audrey and I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in sports management. I am from Fort Worth, TX and grew up in a huge sports family, every weekend was either a tournament of our own or watching our favorite teams. This past summer I had the opportunity to work a PGA tournament in addition to becoming Head coach for a local swim team, where I was introduced to the golf world and sports management. It was an incredible experience which ultimately led me to this internship. When I’m not working you can find me traveling anywhere I can, cheering on my favorite sports team, Manchester United, or trying to learn as much about golf as I can. I am extremely excited for this fall and can’t wait to learn more about golf operations! 

Connor Murphy


What's up, I'm Connor and I am a current graduate student in Sports Management through LSU Online. Considering that all goes accordingly, I will be graduating with my masters degree in December of 2022! I am from Lake Charles, Louisiana which is also where I went to school for my undergraduate degree at McNeese State University. If you can't find me sometime during the fall, you can bet I am catching up on the New Orleans Saints games and news. WHO DAT! I am excited to learn the administration and operations side of golf and am eager to work alongside others with similar passions!

John Arnett


My name is John Arnett and I am from Spring, Texas. I am currently taking classes online at Lone Star while majoring in business marketing. I enjoy playing golf and doing anything outdoors. In my free time I love watching football and rooting on the Houston Texans! I am a former STPGA player myself and look forward to this great opportunity this fall!

Paige Lemm


Paige is returning to the STPGA this Fall from our Summer internship. You could say golf is in my blood. I played on the high school golf team from the 7th – 12th grade and played college golf at Wallace State Community College. I am a senior at Sam Houston State University majoring in Communications. As much as I love the game, I have served many roles from pro shop attendant to golf instructor to golf operations. 


I was born in Benton, AR and didn’t slow down, moving several times. My parents both have spent a lifetime in different parts of the game, Dad building courses and Mom playing, teaching, and coaching as a 25-year PGA member. I am an extrovert that loves interacting with the juniors as well as the organization and process of operations. I love traveling, the beach and my two dogs.
