The Spickard Family joined the Country Club of Roswell in 1993 and young Ben started playing golf at the ripe old age of five. His skills developed quickly and he was named the Junior Program’s “Sweet Swinger” at age seven. Ben credits his mother, Betsy and his father, Brian as the greatest influence as a Junior Golfer. He credits his “Coach”, Jackie Cannizzo, with his development as a player. “She was always the one I could turn to for advice about golf or life.” Ben’s junior golf career included a victory in the American Junior Golf Association’s Ringold Classic and a first place finish in the Junior Rice Planters. He was a four time MVP of his Centennial High School Golf Team where he was the 2003 Region Champion in his senior year. He accepted a golf scholarship to his beloved University of Tennessee in 2004 where he helped his team to a SEC Championship in 2007. He graduated from Tennessee in 2008 with a degree in Sports Management and is currently employed as an Assistant Golf Professional at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons, Georgia. He would eventually like to own and operate his own instruction facility as a PGA Member. According to Ben, while he won three Country Club of Roswell Men’s Club Championships, his most memorable moment was winning the CCR Junior Club Championship. He says his proudest moment was when he was invited back to work with the Junior Program as a volunteer and saw how far the program had come. Ben offers the following advice to Junior Golfers, “Remember to have fun while chasing your goals.”
