Thomas Brockman USGTF Level III Member Marshfield, WI

I have always loved the game of golf. As a child I can remember hitting golf balls in the back yard and catching the "dickens" from dad for putting a golf ball through the garage window! I played on the golf team in high school and continued to play after getting out of college.

After working a number of jobs from radio broadcasting to factory work, I turned professional in 1982 and have been working in Wisconsin since that time. I have worked at five different golf clubs and have been at the Marshfield Country Club since 1995. Prior to joining the USGTF, I was always either a first or second assistant professional, spending most, if not all, my time behind the counter taking in green fees or selling merchandise. In the fall of 2001, after much frustration in the golf business, I finally became certified to teach the game. With all due respect, I kissed that OTHER organization and their broken promises goodbye.

I am now the manager of the Learning Center at the Marshfield Country Club. In July of 2003, I passed the PAT at the Green Garden CC in Frankfort, Illinois, to become a Level III member. I plan on attending the member tournaments and becoming more active in the USGTF. Words cannot describe how proud I am to be a USGTF member. My goals have now become reality.
