Below is an interview with James Grogan, the PGA Head Golf Professional at Whitnall Park Golf Course. The following are a few traditional and non traditional golf centric questions that I love to ask influential people in the golf industry.

Can you provide our readers a brief biography? I was a 4 year varsity player in high school and fell in love with the game. I entered the golf business as an Assistant Professional with aspirations of graduating college and receiving my PGA membership. I've had the privilege of being an Assistant Silver Spring CC, North Shore CC, Merrill Hills CC, and most recently Chenequa CC before I obtained my most current position as the Head Professional at Whitnall Park.

When did you start golfing and who introduced you to the game? I started really playing golf my freshman year in high school when I was introduced to the golf team.

To date, what is your proudest golf accomplishment? My proudest moment so far was the day I obtained my PGA Membership in November of 2009.

What is your biggest golf pet peeve on or off the course? Not replacing divots or fixing ball marks on the green.
