The former CEO and chairman of Motricity, Ryan Wuerch now serves Austin-based DOSH as its chairman and founder. Beyond his professional duties, Ryan Wuerch enjoys playing golf in his spare time. Here are three useful tips for playing golf in windy conditions: 1. Swing smooth – Avoid your initial inclination to swing as hard as you can at the ball in order to counter the wind, as this generates backspin that results in the ball falling short of its target. Instead, use a smooth swing using approximately 80 percent of your power to achieve a lower flight, thus lowering the wind’s effect on the ball. 2. Watch the trees – Anticipate the direction the wind will pull your ball in by examining the tops of trees on the course. 3. Be Risk Averse – Going for the riskiest shot every time will often backfire when playing in the wind. Always play for the largest parts of the green or fairway to avoid ending up in bunkers and deep rough.
With more than 25 years of business experience, Ryan Wuerch divides his time between executive roles in the technology industry and in the nonprofit sector. Ryan Wuerch serves as the director of Epiphany International and the Wuerch Family Foundation, and he leads as executive board chairman at Dosh in Austin, Texas. Dosh exists for the sole purpose of helping consumers save their hard-earned money while enabling businesses to better reach their customers without wasting money on untargeted advertising. The app, which will be free to download at launch on April 25, scans the market for cost-saving opportunities, such as coupons and rebates. When a buyer completes a transaction, Dosh locates and applies any available offers on behalf of the individual, converts it to cash and deposits it into their Dosh Wallet. Users of the app also benefit from an expanding network of merchants. The more than 100,000 businesses on the Dosh platform will continue to grow thanks to recent seed funding. In 2017, the fintech company published news that it had secured $2 million from investors, bringing its total backing to over $6 million. The press release noted that Dosh has moved into private beta testing, and it continues to attract the interest of venture and private equity firms.
