About me: Started playing golf at 19 in college. Played in the Alabama amatuer at 22.

I was an assistant from 1995-2001. Became a class A Member of PGA in 1998. Worked with some good instructors including a top 50 instructor for 3 years. Learned a lot. Didn't agree with everything. Gave 350 lessons in 2000 as a full time assistant pro. Busy year.

Took a head pro Job in 2001. I was 29 (fast track). I was given a salary and a promise that I could teach a lot. That lasted a year. They ask me to teach on times when I wasn't required to run the golf operation. (When is that with 60 hour weeks???)

Had my first three day weekend in 8 years on July the 4th 2003 when I left the golf industry.

Started my own business and quit golf in 2004 . I'm back playing and excited!!

About My Game: Quit playing for six years. Started back fall 2010. I want to get back down to a 1 or 2 and break par again. I'm a good putter and iron player. I struggle driving the ball in the fairway.
