My Golf Career
My father introduced me to golf in 1987. I was hooked from the start! In 1991 I won the junior club championship at St. George's Golf & Country Club and pursued a NCAA scholarship in the united States. I attended Troy State University in 1994 as a member of the Troy State Trojans golf team. Troy State had finished runner up the previous year at the NCAA II National Championships. I then co-captained the Kennesaw State golf team. After college I won the Georgia sectional P.A.T competition and became a golf professional. I assisted Master PGA professional Bert Seagraves at the Nelson/Seagraves academy in Acworth GA. I was the Associate professional at Creekside Golf & Country Club under head professional David Elliott. In 2000 I began competing professionally on various tours in North America against the likes of Bubba Watson, Boo Weekly and Jimmy Johnson. A wrist injury forced my competitive retirement in 2003.
Since then I have represented the Acushnet Golf Company as a Titleist & Cobra golf club technical expert. I was an official Titleist golf ball performance fitter and Certified club fitter at the Titleist club fitting center at Pipers Heath Golf Course. For three summers, I had the good fortune to be the lead golf instructor at Appleby College in Oakville for their summer golf programs. Introducing the game to hundreds of kids, was an experience I truly enjoyed. I have studied the swing philosophies of Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Jones, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Moe Norman and George Knudson.
I have completed a biography about my golfing journey. I have held 3 course records and have 8 hole-in-ones. My lowest round to date is 61. In 2016, I competed in the PGA of Canada PAT event in London, Ontario, winning by 7 and earning fully exempt status.
