Hello friends. My name is Ruben. I have been an amateur golfer for 20 years. I have golfed in over 10 countries and have made 3 hole in ones. I played college golf at a NCAA div2 school program in Oklahoma. During my sophomore year I was awarded university's golfer of the year and at some point during the following semester I was ranked 16th in the NCAA golf rankings. My lowest round is a 51 on a par 60 and a 63 on a par 71 golf course. I have been a professional caddy on and off the golf course for the previous 10 years. I spent the summer of 2018 caddying on the European Golf tour and recently caddied in my first PGA Tour event. I have worked as a caddy at some of the best country clubs in the USA and have received awards for my service. I am now exploring other areas of the golf industry and found this app a good opportunity to help and meet golfers.
The game of golf has given me so many opportunities over the years. As I explore this new carrer, I find enjoyment in seeing students making progress on and off the course.
