Help Brad Stecklein Receive Workplace Justice

This past Monday afternoon, the 3rd of May, 2021, Brad Stecklein, our Assistant Golf Pro was fired without warning.  Florida being an “at-will” state, means a worker can generally be fired without cause or notice.  While that may be legal, we, as members of this community, feel that does not represent the heart of who we, the owners are.      

Brad has served not only the Legends Golf and Country Club for the past 14 ½ years, he has served us, become part of our Legends family, and is part of so many of our fondest memories made here.  Walking into the Pro Shop seeing Brad after being gone for months, his great big smile and “welcome back” always made me know I had just come home.  We all have our own favorite memories to share, and woven through each one is the laughter, professionalism, and his commitment to excellence in serving each of us. 

Our Board/Management Team that represents us has not as yet responded to our requests for transparency, due process or even a severance package that honors his years of devoted, honorable, and unblemished service.  At this time, it appears it is falling to us to show them how that is done. 

This is a formal invitation for each of us to join our voices, speak out, step up, and seek what is just for Brad.  Let us show the world how it is to honor one another, as Brad honored us. Let us join our resources to contribute to helping Brad support his family as he navigates this injustice.  Let us show the world the real heart of Legends.
