DISASTERS AND RESILIENT CITIES EXPO

The most important infrastructure in a community is usually the part no one talks about

It’s not the clubhouse. Not the new trailhead. Not the ribbon-cutting photo.

It’s the structure that subtly carries people across water, over erosion, through flood zones, year after year, without demanding attention.

Most people don’t remember the bridges they cross.

They remember where they were going.

Don Ferrar built Links Bridges around that tension: if something is essential, it shouldn’t also be fragile. “As long as I’ve been around golf courses, I’ve noticed something over and over,” says Ferrar, Founder and CEO. “You’ve got these beautifully groomed properties, and then the bridges weren’t up to the same standard. You still see shabby-looking bridges on beautiful golf courses.” He had seen the disconnect for years. Eventually, noticing wasn’t enough. Before founding Links Bridges in 2014, Ferrar served as COO of a major waterslide company. Waterslides are engineered from fiberglass, designed to endure moisture, stress, and constant exposure over time.
