Path to Professional Golf: November 11th 2015 Update
It’s been about two months since I last posted about my path to professional golf, so I wanted to provide a quick update. Other than a few one-day charity events, I haven’t played in any individual tournaments since mid-September. Around that time, I began working with a Charlotte based instructor. The goal?

The year of 2015 has certainly been one of big change. In May, I left the financial industry to pursue my dream of playing professional golf.

It’s 5am on a mild September morning in Charleston, SC.

“Swing your swing.” July proved to be a month of ups-and-downs with my golf game. While I played well for much of the month, I had a few less that ideal scores along the way. Having the opportunity to work on my game daily, I’ve found that tinkering with the swing (in an effort to improve)…

I still remember the chilly May mornings and hot August evenings working at the Williamsport Country Club. As a late teen, I couldn’t have dreamt of a better gig – getting paid to spend time at a golf course! Working in the outside “bag room,” I would spend my days washing carts, cleaning clubs and…

Two months into the professional golf quest, and I’m enjoying every minute of the process. Sure, there are ups-and-downs, but spending each day at the course working toward goals is simply amazing.
