| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | OCTOBER 2024 | 23 Meet Our New Director of Golf Hi everyone, my name is David A. Goldstein II. I am writing to you all to introduce myself and to express how excited I am to be your new Director of Golf ! My love for the game of golf began when I was 16 years old. My father took me to the driving range aer work for about a year before actually going out on the course to play. My very rst round, my dad made a bet with the other two golfers playing in the group, saying "My son will beat you both". Fortunately, he was right. Aer the 18th hole the golfers paid my dad and he handed me the money and said, "You earned it." Ever since that day, I thought to myself, "Wow, I can win money by having fun?" From then on, I was hooked. I started my professional career at Oak Valley Golf Club just across the way. I was there for four years as the First Assistant Golf Professional and Lead Academy Instructor. During my time at Oak Valley, I was fortunate to be able to go to China for a year to teach junior golfers. Aer Oak Valley, I worked for eight years at e Lakes Country Club as their First Assistant where I received the Teacher of the Year award in 2016-2017 for the Desert Chapter. In 2020, I became the Head Golf Professional at Monterey Country Club followed by my most recent stint at Mission Lakes Country Club as their Director of Golf. I am honored and blessed to be your new Director and look forward to our future here at Sun Lakes! ings to look forward to: • Weekly Clinics • Pros vs. Members Events • Aernoon 9 Hole Scrambles • Video Instruction/Etiquette from the Pros, either on You tube or channel 97 In the next few weeks, we will be introducing a few new events and instructional information for your enjoyment. ~ David A.
