Jeff Boyer, PGA

General Manager, Eagle Ranch Golf Club

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Cody, Wyoming.

What was your first introduction to the game of golf?

My family lived by Olive Glenn Golf & Country Club in Cody. My father got me started when I was about seven or eight. Soon after that, I joined the junior golf program run by the Olive Glenn Golf Professionals at the time, Johnny Miles and Steve Samuels.

Why did you choose to become a PGA Golf Professional?

I worked at the golf course growing up and didn't know what to do in college. A high school guidance counselor suggested I pursue the golf industry as a career and helped me find the PGM program at Ferris State University.

What makes you most proud about being a PGA Professional?

I am so fortunate to have had some great mentors in the golf business. Andy Spano, Steve Satterstrom and Mark Johnson were three PGA Golf Professionals who really helped me to get to my position at Eagle Ranch. The education, experience, and connections I have made through the PGA have helped me make a living and enjoy a great lifestyle.

What golf facilities have you been employed at and in what capacity?
