About Tim
Tim began his golfing career when he was in 8th grade. Making the JV team that year, he fell in love with the game. He continued playing golf through high school and also worked at multiple courses throughout those years. Similarly, he spent his summers competing on the Junior PGA tour, in Minnesota. He elected not to play in college which is when his volleyball career came to life. Tim went to the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire where he first picked up a volleyball. Fast forward 15 years and he’s spent most of them traveling and competing domestically on the AVP Tour. He competed alongside his brother, Brian, before playing with a variety of playing partners post Brian’s retirement in 2018.
Throughout that time, he got married and had 3 kids who love to keep him busy. Tim never fell out of love with the game of golf, despite having to spend his summertime elsewhere. But, now he’s back and more passionate about it than ever. Tim recently quit his IT career of 13 years and is now pursuing Swing Yard full time so that he can explore one of his biggest passions of playing golf and teaching others how to get better at it. Tim currently holds a 0.6 handicap and is focused on getting to a plus.
He thoroughly loves to play a variety of courses but also finds himself buried in his golf simulator that he’s built in his garage. He’d always prefer to play outside, but when the Minnesota winter comes around, he’s happy to be able to swing a club at all. During the winters, he loves to compete on the Simulator Golf Tour where he fine tunes his game for the beautiful Spring, Summer and Fall months. He thoroughly enjoys talking about golf, learning about golf and exploring all the new golf equipment that continues to get better and better.
Tim enjoys golf and loves to watch and help people get better. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and start a discussion with him!
