East Greenwich Golf Club
About
I grew up playing most sports but none intrigued me as much as golf. Golf is a wonderful blend of physical skill, mental strength, and emotional control. The golf course is also a great place to expand professional and personal networks. I have been playing the game for almost 20 years and hope to play for another 50. I graduated from Golf Academy of America in 2012 and am currently a PGA apprentice. I have worked and learned from some of the top instructors from coast to coast and am determined to help others enjoy playing the game i love so much.
