About Phil

I grew up in the Bay Area of California and later, Albuquerque, New Mexico playing primarily soccer and baseball. I began to learn about golf during my freshman year of college and became consumed, as I am sure you may be as well, chasing that white ball down the rough and enjoying the camaraderie of others endeavoring the same pursuit to score better than the day before. I took my first Player’s Ability Test one and a half years later and missed by one stroke. Later, I passed. Golf career-wise, I began working in an off-course retail shop which expanded over time. During the dot-com boom, I ran the daily operations for a website in which we sold golf equipment over the internet. Two and a half years later the company sold and I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona. I tried out a couple other industries, but golf remained a passion.
