Robin has extensive experience in golf facility operations and management after spending eight plus years as a course acquisition changeover manager and regional director for Brassie Golf, Eagle Golf Services/Hale Irwin Golf Services in St Louis, MO.

He also competed as one of the 36 finalists of the Remax National Long Drive Championships in 1986 and 1987. His love for the game and passion for helping others couldn’t have been better planned than to operate the third largest men’s professional developmental golf tour in the US.
