I grew up on Cape Cod in the town of Chatham. One of my neighbors was the Golf Professional at Eastward Ho Country Club, one of the best clubs in New England. John Scheffler had served as Jack Grout’s (Jack Nicklaus Coach) assistant for many years. John was a great player and teacher. I was lucky enough to land a job at the club and see all aspects of the golf business at a young age. Watching John Scheffler work at such a beautiful place and interact with people who shared a passion for the game of golf was very infectious to me. Being exposed to this, planted the seed and gave me the desire to pursue a job at a club to interact with a membership in a similar fashion.
