Below is an interview with Brian Dumler, PGA Head Golf Professional at SentryWorld. Brian has been the head professional at SentryWorl since 1995 and a PGA member since 1992. The following are a few traditional and non traditional golf centric questions that I love to ask influential people in the golf industry.

When did you start golfing and who introduced you do the game? I lived across the street from a public golf course. The owner of the course purchased the old library in town and moved the building just inside the fence and rented it as a house. He had to remove some of the fence for the renters to drive their cars in and out. I snuck in and played golf and practiced on the closest green from the time I was 8 or 9 years old until my mid teens. My parents did not play but I was lucky we lived where we did.

What is your favorite golf destination? Scotland

What course is on your bucket list that you have not played yet? I have played about 35 of the top 100 on the Golf Digest list. I have not played the Chicago Golf Club yet.
