Why I started Progress And Play®
BAILEY HOUSE, founder
I was pursuing professional golf, running my first business, seeing real growth, confident in my character, with freedom, with resources.
On the surface, things were going well…
But each afternoon, I'd find myself sitting there alone, eating my meal, finished with work, knowing I could be out doing something, but not having the right people to do anything with.
I'd watch videos online of guys sharing the most exciting experiences together. Sports, adventure, travel. I just didn't have my kind of people to do those things with. So I didn't.
I felt like I wasn’t making the most of years I'd only get once.

EXPERIENCE
PROGRESS AND PLAY®: EXPERIENCE
Experiences available to Pass holders only.
Progress And Play® in Queenstown, New Zealand.
THE FIRST EXPERIENCE: december 13-18, 2025“I really enjoyed the New Zealand experience. The time we spent talking and exchanging ideas was definitely the highlight for me. And if I had to rate the experience, I’d honestly say 10/10. It’s hard to rate it any lower in an environment like that, with those kinds of activities.”
