The final match against Denny Shute was refereed by Bobby Jones.

Tom was introduced to the game at an early age and played in the US Junior Amateur, the US Amateur, and several other events on the national level. After graduating from Stetson University in May of 1992, with a degree in Finance, Tom continued his pursuit of a career in the golf industry. Tom was the Player of the Year in the Trans-America Athletic Conference in 1992 and in 1993 defeated Tiger Woods 3 & 2 en route to a victory in the Monroe Invitational Championship in Rochester, NY.

Since turning professional in 1994, Tom has played on various tours in the United States and was affiliated with Lake Nona Golf Club in Orlando, FL and Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, NY. During his summer months, Tom worked for the Golf Digest instructional schools at the Ocean Edge Resort on Cape Cod. Having been a student of the game for many years, Tom decided to completely turn his attention to golf instruction in 1996. Through extensive training, Tom became a certified instructor at the David Leadbetter Academy. Tom worked as Leadbetter’s first assistant for over four years. His experience included working with tour players such as Nick Faldo, Nick Price, and Ernie Els.

In September of 2000, Tom began conducting his own Orlando golf schools, and corporate outings. Upon leaving the Leadbetter Academy, Tom began working as Se Ri Pak’s full time coach.

One and two-day corporate events have been part of Tom’s full schedule over the past ten years. As the Director of Instruction at MetroWest Golf Club, Tom’s programs include lessons on the full swing, short game, and consultation on golf course management.
