Oakville’s Zachary Creed (Zack Creed)
has played and worked at some of the best golf courses in the United
States. As a seasonal employee over the course of 10 years, he has
spent time with some of the best courses in Florida specifically,
including The Polo Club in Boca Raton, Jupiter Hills, and Old Palm
Golf.
While studying Professional Golf Management (PGM) and recreation
management at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), Zack Creed
was named 2009 Player of the Year. He improved his skills during PGA
internships at La Costa Resort (Carlsbad, CA), Grayhawk Golf Club
(Scottsdale, AZ), N.J. National Golf Club (Somerset, NJ) and Crooked
Stick Golf Club (Carmel, IN).
Zack worked as an Assistant Golf
Professional at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel from 2009 to 2012.
A highlight of his tenure there was serving as a Tournament Liaison
for the U.S. Senior Open Championship in 2011 and for the 2012 BMW
Fedex playoffs. He also worked at The Hawthorns Golf & Country
Club in Fishers, IN, from 2012 to 2013, assuming the duties and
responsibilities of the Director/Head Pro for four months.
Zack qualified for and played in the
2012 and 2013 Indiana Open tournaments. The following year, in 2014,
Zack was a finalist for Indiana Professional of the Year while
working as co-first assistant professional at Highland Golf &
Country Club in Indianapolis from 2014-15.
Branching out from the playing and teaching sides of golf, Zack Creed
moved on to selling and marketing new golf products to the U.S.
market with Midas Event Supply (MES) in Ontario, California, from
2015-2017, where he served as a trade show representative to Club
Managers. He was also in charge of evaluating the MES expansion into
the Canadian market.
Zack Creed has also volunteered at
numerous PGA tournaments throughout his career, including four times
at Par For The Cure, which raises funds for breast cancer research.
He also enjoyed organizing an Advanced Junior Golf Program for
aspiring professionals, and college and high school standouts. A
major perk of that position at Crooked Stick involved playing rounds
with celebrities, sports stars and politicians.
