Chris’s family joined Country Club of Roswell in 1997 when Chris was 11 years old. He joined our Junior Golf Program and began taking our Junior Clinics and private lessons with Jackie. As his game progressed he began competing in the Atlanta Junior Golf Association, the Southeastern Junior Golf Tour and ultimately the American Junior Golf Association’s Tournaments. Some of his highlights included a victory in the Southeastern Junior Tour’s Auburn Alabama event, a second place finish in a American Junior Tournament, third place in the Bobby Chapman Invitational and he tied for ninth in the USGA Junior Championship in 2003. He attended and competed on the Centennial High School golf team and earned a scholarship at Georgia Southern University where he captained the golf team for two years. During his college career, he had a fifth place finish at the Graystone Invitational and a third place finish in the Wolf Run Invitational where he set the course and tournament record with a round of 65. In the 2008 Georgia State Amateur held at Idle Hour Country Club, Chris fired rounds of 68-72-71-72 to finish in sixteenth place. |
