Austin grew up in Monroe, North Carolina, a small farm town about an hour south of Charlotte. Growing up Austin played every sport but golf until a life-threatening dirt-bike wreck prevented him from playing most sports any longer. At this time Austin’s grandfather gave him a set of clubs, and he fell in love with the game. Austin devoted many years of practice to the sport and made the varsity golf team all four years of high school. Austin also competed on several junior golf tours, winning multiple junior golf events. Austin has worked at some of the most pristine clubs in the United States; Union League National in Sea Isle City, New Jersey and at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Most recently, Austin worked as a Assistant Golf Professional at Prestwick Country Club in Myrtle Beach. While working at Prestwick Country Club, Austin was involved in the PGA Hope program which consisted of weekly golf clinics for veterans as well as the Folds of Honor and Special Olympic programs respectively. Over the past few years, Austin has given over 4,500 lessons, developed several successful junior & ladies golf programs and created weekly league opportunities for members and guests. Austin has also been able to spend time with some of the game’s greats, learning from Gary Player, Justin Thomas, and Phil Mickelson along the way. Outside of the course, Austin enjoys spending time with his family & his dog Koa.
