GolfWisconsin.com received this announcement from Pinewood Country Club:

Pinewood CC Golf Family,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Kyle Christian and I will be taking over as General Manager/Head Golf Professional at Pinewood Country Club on April 1st. I have been working in the golf industry for the last 18 years. I was previously the General Manager/Head Golf Professional at Northwood Golf Club for the last 5 years. Prior to Northwood, I was the Head Professional at Oneida Golf & Country Club in Green Bay, Wisconsin as well as working at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota and the Vintage Club in California. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Golf Enterprise Management and a minor in business. I am also a Class A Member of the PGA since 2017.

My goal this year at Pinewood CC is to bring positive energy to make everyone's golf experience the best in Northern Wisconsin. My plan is to add an additional afternoon Men's League and an afternoon Ladies League. I will rebrand the golf shop and offer affordable prices for everyone. My goal is to help everyone improve their golf game by offering lessons, junior golf, and beginner golf programs. You can contact me with any questions at 715-499-2415 or feel free to email me at kchristianpga@gmail.com. I look forward to working with all current members, locals, and tourists very soon and can't wait to see you out at Pinewood CC this season!

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
