The SCPGA enables me to be “inside the ropes” while observing really good golfers perform. Being of assistance in helping players interpret the Rules of Golf and being able to interact with officials that share the same interest is what draws me to the game.

After enjoying the game of golf for many years, I really wanted to give something back so I volunteered as a rules official in an effort to help both amateur and professional golfers in their enjoyment of the game.
