Q&A with Nationwide Tour Player Justin Peters (Pembroke, MA)

By: Jeff Palopoli on 07/09/10 09:28 AM   |   DISCUSS

Earlier this year I interviewed Justin Peters before he had even tee'd it up in a Nationwide event this year. He was basically waiting for the reshuffle and his chance to play. Justin's journey to this point in his career has been a long one, but just like his ringtone "Don't stop believing", he hasn't. Justin is starting to see some great success on the Nationwide Tour and has made 4 of 7 cuts. His best finish coming at the Melwood Prince George's County Open where he finished T12.   —   » Read More: Q&A with Nationwide Tour Player Justin Peters (Pembroke, MA)

By: Barry Palm on 05/03/10 08:09 AM   |   DISCUSS

Arguably, Liz Janangelo is among the best amateur and collegiate golfers to come from New England.  After an exemplary record with Connecticut State Golf Association events – and then, at Duke, as a college player  and her accomplishments on the LPGA Tour speak volumes on her ability.   —   » Read More: Q & A with Liz Janangelo

Getting back to par - Q&A with Ken Green

By: Jeff Palopoli on 04/13/10 03:24 PM   |   DISCUSS

In June of 2009 Ken Green's life was turned upside down. While travelling to a Champions Tour event in his RV, the right front tire blew, causing the vehicle to veer down a steep embankment and hit a tree. The crash killed his brother, girlfriend, and precious dog, all who were travelling with Green.   —   » Read More: Getting back to par - Q&A with Ken Green

Q&A with Tour Rookie and Q-school medalist Troy Merritt

By: Jeff Palopoli on 03/30/10 01:51 PM   |   DISCUSS

Troy Merritt has come a long way from his walk-on days at both Winona State (Div. II) and Boise State. While at Boise State Merritt collected nine wins over two years, including a record setting five straight in his senior year, where he led all of Div. I with a 69.53 scoring average. He took that momentum with him to the Nationwide Tour where he only had conditional status for 2009. Merritt made 10 of his last 11 cuts which included a win in Mexico. This past December he lit up Q-school taking medalist honors with a six day total of -22 and a one stroke victory over veteran Jeff Maggert. Merritt started off his rookie year hot making three straight cuts, two of them being top 20 finishes.   —   » Read More: Q&A with Tour Rookie and Q-school medalist Troy Merritt

Some of you may recognize Justin Peters from the very first season of The Big Break challenge on The Golf Channel in 2003. Justin was the inaugural champion and ever since has been hard at work on his game to try and get to that next level.

Interview with Golf Channel's Big Break champion Mike Perez

By: Jeff Palopoli on 02/22/10 12:26 PM   |   DISCUSS

For fans of the Golf Channel's Big Break, Mike Perez needs no introduction. This was my first season really watching the show, and my first thought during the premiere was, "Who do you have to know to get on this show?" There was former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani's son (Andrew), famous soap opera actress Susan Lucci's son (Andreas Huber), and PGA Tour star Pat Perez's brother (Mike). However, it didn't take very long to see that Mike certainly deserved to be there - he had some serious game.   —   » Read More: Interview with Golf Channel's Big Break champion Mike Perez

There are certainly no shortage of guys hoping to make their way on to the PGA Tour. But I believe few have as an interesting back story as Matthew Lombardo. I recently "met" Matthew through Twitter and was instantly intrigued with his background and journey thus far in the golf world.   —   » Read More: Q&A with PGA Tour hopeful Matthew Lombardo

By: Jeff Palopoli on 01/28/10 12:18 PM   |   DISCUSS

Throughout the season I'll be checking in with PGA Tour rookie Chris Wilson as he gives us an inside look as to what tour life is like for a rookie. I first did an interview with Chris via Twitter about a month ago after he earned his card, and now that he has a couple of tournaments under his belt I thought it would be a good time to catch up with him.   —   » Read More: Catching up with PGA Tour Rookie Chris Wilson
