Jeff began playing golf at the age of 5 years old. Jeff's father instilled in him a love for all things golf. During his high school years as Captain of the golf team, Jeff's father taught him the club making skills that he has used over his lifetime to make sets of clubs for family and friends. Once Jeff and his wife relocated to the Sandhills, Jeff found Robert's Golf shop and asked Bob if he could apprentice under him. Bob agreed, and Jeff's skill and knowledge base of golf club repair has been vastly improved.
