Country Club of Birmingham
The Country Club of Birmingham just celebrated their 125th anniversary and I am honored to be the 5th golf professional in the Club’s history. It’s a vibrant club with two Donald Ross golf courses and 1,650 members. I was originally hired as the Director of Instruction in 2001, then I became the Director of golf in 2006. We have one of the largest junior golf programs in the country and golf across all ages is thriving.

Staff
Our busy operation requires a large staff. We have 6 PGA Members and 4 Associates working towards membership. Our motto is “work hard and have fun!”
