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.
I have joined Top 100 golf coach Henry Brunton at the Henry Brunton Academy for 2018. My golfing career has been truly blessed by great role models and mentors. The opportunity to join Henry's team is a true honour. I look forward to learning from him and becoming a better golf professional in 2018.
