A Light Hearted Golf Q & A Interview

By Brian Weis

Below is an interview with Robert Brock Jr., the Head Golf Professional at Crowfield Golf Club. 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?
My name is Robert Brock Jr. and I am the Head Golf Professional at Crowfield Golf Club. I started working as a cart attendant in 2005 and was quickly promoted to the Apprentice Professional in 2006. In 2010, I took over as the Head Professional at Crowfield Golf Club.

When did you start golfing and who introduced you to the game?
I played golf very little growing up, but was introduced to the game by my dad. I took the game seriously when I started working in the cart barn back in 2005.

What is your current home course?
Crowfield Golf Club - Goose Creek, SC

To date, what is your proudest golf accomplishment?
My biggest accomplishment was becoming a PGA Member in September 2012.

What is your biggest golf pet peeve on or off the course?
My biggest pet peeve is people that do not rake bunkers and fix ball marks on the green.

What is your favorite club in your bag and why?
The putter is my favorite club in the bag. It has been my savior!

What is your favorite golf destination?
My favorite golf destination is Disney World. The atmosphere provides an incredible experience from checking in to finishing up on the 18th hole.

What course is on your bucket list that you have not played yet?
I would love to play Augusta National, but I am not sure I will ever get to cross it off the list.

If you woke up tomorrow and could play one course you played before, where would you play?
I would love to go play Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. The course and views are amazing.

If you could change one aspect, rule or thing about golf, what would it be and why?
One thing I would think about changing is allowing a player to take a drop from a divot in the fairway. It is not fair to be punished for hitting a good shot in the fairway.

Dream foursome (living or dead)?

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf.
