Head Golf Professional
Brent is a graduate of Beech Grove High School and the University of Indianapolis where he was a member and captain of the nationally ranked Greyhound golf team. He returned to the campus to coach the mens golf program and is now in his second season leading the current Greyhound team. Prior to the University of Indianapolis he spent one year at Lincoln Trail College where he was named conference Sportsman of the Year in baseball.
Brent has worked at Dyes Walk Country Club since 1990. He turned professional in 1994 and was a member of the inaugural class of the PGAs Golf Professional Training Program where he joined 21 other golf professionals in being elected to class-A membership in October of 1996. He has been the Head PGA Golf Professional since February of 1997.
As a player, Brent has played several State Open championships making the cut most recently in 2004. His career low round is 64 on two occasions. His third place finish in the 2005 PGA series event at Otter Creek GC marks his best finish as a professional. As an assistant professional he was the runner-up in the 1994 Hillcrest CC Wilson Apprentice Tournament series event and finished that season in fourth place in the total point race.
As the Head Golf Professional and teacher, Brent considers his ability to work with juniors a major strength. He encourages parents to get their kids involved early because it is something a family can do together for many years. A highlight of his teaching career came in 1999 when he worked with the Special Olympics organization. Teaching those kids was the highlight of my season because it really put life in perspective and taught me to not take everyday things in life for granted. Brents student base has increased each year since becoming the Head Professional and his teaching now includes a state of the art video and computer system. His teaching revolves around the basic fundamentals of proper grip, posture, and alignment. He teaches students of all ages and abilities.
Brent lives in the Center Grove area with his wife and two children. His wife Susan is a Registered Nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Indianapolis. His son Benjamin is 7 and daughter Mia is 2.
