Several Seaforth natives
choosing career
asa
If it weren't for the wind everyone
would be golfing in shorts and shirt-
sleeves by now.
Unfortunately Lake Huron has a
tendency to keep things cool at this
time of year, meaning that golfers are
donning windbreakers and
turtlenecks in order to get an early
start.
April can be a very fickle month. Cold,
hot, windy, wet, - if you don't like the
weather just wait awhile because it will
surely change.
Despite the challenges of determining just
what to wear and where to aim that tee shot
to compensate for the gale, many area golfers
are out.enjoying their favourite summer
pastime after a very long, cold winter. It was
nice to see people relaxing on the patio in the
sun. It was nice just to see the patio.
Last Monday one of our former
employees, Tony Greidanus, was home for a
short visit and a couple of rounds of golf.
Congratulations were in order as Tony had
just finished the final leg of his journey to
become a Class A Club Professional in the
PGA of America.
Tony, a Seaforth native, graduated from
Seaforth District High School. During his
high school years Tony worked part time at
the Seaforth Golf Club on the grounds and in
the clubhouse and pro shop. He worked on
his game and became a member of the high
school golf team.
As Tony's game improved he decided that
golf would be a good career path for him.
Upon graduating from Seaforth District High
School Tony was offered a golf scholarship
at MercyHurst college in Erie, Pennsylvania
where he was a member of the golf team and
worked towards his degree in the hospitality
industry. While attending MercyHurst Tony
earned four NCAA victories and after turning
pro finished 41st on the Western New York
PGA Tour with six top ten finishes.
Tony apprenticed at Lawrence Park Golf
Club in Erie and also worked at a club in
Vero Beach, Florida while completing the
required courses and time requirements to
become a fully accredited Class A club
professional. We wish Tony all the best in his
new career.
Tony joins a lengthening list of youngsters
who have decided to pursue a golf career
after getting their start in Seaforth. Steve
Bennett is the head professional at Sarnia
Golf and Curling Club and is receiving a lot
of attention, not just because of his success
as a competing club pro, but also because of
his influence on the very successful career of
PGA Tour player, Mike Weir.

Ian Doig is a teaching pro at Hunter's Glen
and still competes occasionally on the
Canadian Tour. .
Chris Marion attended Georgian College in
the Golf Management Program and Todd
Doig graduated from Seneca as a Greens
Superintendent.
Dave Hiltz attendedcollege in Michigan
on a golf scholarship and this fall Lindsay
McEwin's golf scholarship will send her to
Eastern Michigan University.
As more and more people participate in
golf as a recreational pastime, more and more
job opportunities related to golf become
available. You don't have to be a skilled
golfer to pursue a golf -related career but
knowledge of the game definitely helps when
entering the world of golf business.
These days you can make a good living
in the following golf businesses: journalism
for magazines, newspapers, internet sites and
book writing; designing, manufacturing and
selling golf equipment and apparel;
marketing - golf trade shows and personnel
management; events organizer - corporate
tourneys, charity events, competitions; real
estate development and sales; golf travel;
lessons - teaching beginners, intermediate
and advanced players; managing • golf
properties - courses, clubs, resorts and condo
properties; food and beverage and hospitality
at golf facilities; developing software for any
or all of the above golf businesses; and many,
many more.
Information about golf careers, golf
scholarships and related topics is usually
available from your local golf professional
and guidance councillor.
