A little more about Ray's golf swing and career

   After retiring from a decorated career of travel ice hockey at 12 years old, I was introduced to golf while on vacation in the Poconos. My family was at a local family amusement park that happened to have a driving range. I started hitting balls and an older gentleman saw my golf swing and said "this kid is a natural!" From there, I was hooked!

   The next day, I was at Walmart buying a set of clubs and heading to nearest golf course, Cricket Hill Golf Course in Hawley, PA! This was the beginning of a lifelong journey, challenge, and quite frankly, the best decision of my life!

   I continued playing golf as much as I could and progressing quickly. A few years later while vacationing in Sarasota, FL, my father found a weekly golf academy to help hone my golf swing and skills. This academy turned out to be David Leadbetter Golf Academy at IMG Academies in Bradenton, FL, a world renowned sports academy that was home to some of the top junior golfers and athletes in the world!

   After discovering their full-time boarding program, I took the leap and attended for my Junior and Senior years of high school. This was the moment that changed my life and golf swing forever.

   My daily schedule consisted of golf from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m., 3 days on the range and 2 days of 9 holes on local courses. After golf, I would come back to my dorm, shower, eat lunch and then head to school from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for 2 years! As you could imagine, my golf swing, golf course management and golf game as a whole, was taken to another level with top-tier instructors, equipment and facilities at my fingertips. 

   After IMG, I attended Coastal Carolina University in Myrtle Beach, SC for Professional Golf Management. I ended up stepping away from golf during the tail-end of college and didn't play much other than "ringer" appearances in occasional golf outings or rounds with friends.

I began playing more often in the following years up until the pandemic in early 2020. Since then, I've been bitten by the "bug" again! I'm back to working on my golf swing, playing competitive golf in amateur events and will continue to play more and more each year.

  In early 2022, I noticed more and more golf content showing up on social media feeds and thought "I can do better than this!" I began to film some of my golf swings and eventually a few holes explaining my golf course management while doing my best impression of "Playing with the Pros" that I used to watch on the Golf Channel growing up! Now here we are, 50+ videos later, a growing golf brand and different brands approaching me with partnership opportunities!

   Ultimately, my content is just me playing a normal round of golf with either my dad, friends or people I'm paired with! I always like to share tips on the golf swing and golf course management that I've picked up a long the way. I voice thought process approaching different shots and my mental approach to grinding because we all know this game is hard!
