David started his golf career first as a college job in the bag room at Phoenix Country Club in Arizona, home of the PGA Tour Champions Schwab Cup.
In 1998, after finishing school, David found his true passion for golf at the PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club and began his PGA apprenticeship. From 2006 to 2017, David was the Head Golf Professional at Vista & Marina Vallarta Club de Golf in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the home of TaylorMade and Adidas Golf for 11 years, as well as the host of the 2006 Puerto Vallarta Blue Agave PGA Tour Champions. David took 2 years to support a fellow golf professional at Querencia Club de Golf in Los Cabos, Mexico, Tom Fazio’s first design in Mexico. David is no stranger to the Carolinas; from 2017 to 2020 he excelled as an Assistant and then Head Golf Professional at the Cliffs at Walnut Cove in Arden, NC.
David comes to us from his most recent tenure as the GM/Head Golf Professional at The Cleghorn Club at Tryon Resort, where he managed a staff of 20+ employees that covered a George Cobb design golf course, a seasonal sports club and a sporting clays club. His greatest professional passion is developing relationships with members and guests. David is committed to fostering a detailed service environment, hosting excellent member events, and growing the game of golf. David has been blessed to work with many infamous golf instructors including Jim Flick, Mike Malaska, Hank Haney, former PGA Tour Player Rick Fehr, and Golf Channel commentator Phil Blackmar. Some of his favorite played courses include Baltrusol Golf Club in New Jersey, Bluejack National in Texas, and Querencia Golf Club in Los Cabox, MX.
David, his wife Lizethe, and their two daughters Valentina (9) and Sofia (7) are excited to be joining The Carolina Country Club family and look forward to making memories in the Upstate for years to come.
