I am pleased to introduce myself as a Life Member PGAGolf Professional with over five decades of experience in this magnificent sport. My journey in golf began at the tender age of five when I won my first tournament, igniting a passion that has shaped my entire life and career. Over the past 50 years, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in every aspect of the game:Competed on high school and college teams, honing my skills and competitive edge. Served as an Assistant Golf Coach at Fairview High School, nurturing young talent. Played internationally across four continents, broadening my perspective on the global golf landscape. Achieved the esteemed status of PGA Professional, a title I've proudly held for 35 years. Taught at some of the most prestigious clubs in the United States, including PGA National Collaborated with Golf Digest and worked alongside top instructors such as Bob Toski, Jack Lumpkin, and Todd Anderson. My approach to the game is unique, combining self-taught techniques with invaluable guidance from golf legends. I've had the honor of learning from Jack Grout, mentor to Jack Nicklaus, as well as Mike Souchack. I'm also deeply grateful for the mentorship of my friend and golf professional, Jerry Boykin, who supported me as a junior golfer. Throughout my journey, I've come to understand that golf is more than just a sport – it's a metaphor for life itself, embodying core values that extend far beyond the greens. I believe in the importance of savoring each moment, both in golf and in life, always taking time to "smell the roses" along the way. I look forward to sharing my knowledge, experience, and love for this amazing game with you. John Zupan - PGA Professional
