What was your greatest moment in golf<br />
Meeting my wife!<br />
What or who has had the greatest impact on your career<br />
Mr. Terry Houser
Besides golf, what else do you enjoy<br />
I enjoy being with my family, fishing.<br />
If you could play any golf course in the world, which one would<br />
it be and who would complete your foursome<br />
Pebble Beach with my wife, my son and my daughter.<br />
If you could give lessons to anyone in the world who would it<br />
be and what advice would you give<br />
Anyone. I would tell them that God created golf. In the age of lack of<br />
interaction as well as how technology creates isolation, golf makes<br />
people get together and creates real relationships. It is probably the<br />
best business networking tool. Every person that you meet is a gift.<br />
You never know when you will run into your next employer, your next<br />
family, your next friend.<br />
What is your favorite golf instruction tip<br />
I feel that the most important part of the swing happens between your<br />
knee cap and chest. Learn to rotate and learn to release the clubhead<br />
and great things will happen.
