Some families pass down antique vases, property, scrapbooks or top-secret recipes. Kristen LaCount inherited a country club.
LaCount, the general manager/COO at The Country Club in Brookline, is the third generation in her family to work at the historic club, and the first woman to lead the club in its 138-year history. The course will host the U.S. Open from June 16-19.
Her mother grew up just across the street from the club, in Buttonwood Village, working weekends at the front desk throughout college while LaCount’s grandmother worked in the club’s business office. LaCount’s father started as a dishwasher, quickly working his way up to become TCC’s youngest executive chef, a position he held for decades.
