Dallas National Golf Club

Elected to Membership: 2009

PGA Member in Section Since: 2019


Before moving to the North Texas area, Neil was affiliated with the South Florida PGA.  He states that, "the game of golf has greatly expanded over the course of the last four years. As the game has grown, it has placed added pressure on all facets of the business to meet the demand. To satisfy the needs of the market requires talented and forward-thinking individuals. Staff are tasked not only with managing the volume, but also a broader spectrum of needs. I wish to step up, take responsibility and be involved in leading our profession as it adapts to the new golf world. I welcome the opportunity to impact the business and the Professionals within by serving on the NTPGA Board of Directors. I strongly believe that I can contribute to meeting the objectives of advancing our Association."

Matthew has also been affiliated with the Southern Texas PGA and the Southwest PGA. He is running for an At-Large position because, "as an A-20 Member I have noticed that only a few classifications are invited or at least attend annual meetings, tournaments, etc.  I actively participate in these meeting and find it difficult to partner with other Members.  I want to help include and invite other classifications to events to help prevent Members from disconnecting, and re-encourage Members that have lapsed to rejoin and engage."
