In
1996 I graduated with honors from one of the premier golf
schools in the country with a Specialized Associates Degree
in Golf Business Management. I began to set my sights on
becoming a member of the PGA of America. In 1997 I passed
the players ability test, shooting 70 & 75 to secure my
application into the PGA of America-Golf Professional Training
Program. The Program takes 3 ½ years to complete and in
September of 2000 I graduated with a Class "A" Status.
While
pursuing my PGA Class "A" status, I worked at three of the
top facilities in the Las Vegas Valley as a Golf Professional;
Reflection Bay Golf Club, DragonRidge Country Club and Cascata.
Reflection Bay Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas is where my interest
grew in golf tournaments and group events. I was responsible
for hotel and golf broker relationships as well as billing.
At DragonRidge Country Club I was the Director of Hotel and
Casino Operations. This allowed me to make important relationships
crucial in the Golf industry. Cascata is the premier golf
club in the Las Vegas Valley. I was able to fine tune my interpersonal
skills while gaining the confidence to start my own company.
Thus,
the creation of Las Vegas Premier Golf Vacations, LTD with
the motto: "I will earn your business by providing the best
service"
