A great dive into the mind of a Champion, my friend and 2000 United States Mid-Am Champ, Greg Puga

Send us a Text Message.     Every once in a while, someone defies the odds. Maybe a rags to riches story ? Perhaps a person achieves excellence in a field that we would've thought not possible. I believe that these people are mean't to inspire us to push ourselves to greater heights in life. This is exactly the case with Greg Puga.    Greg was born in L.A. California and didn't get introduced to Golf until he was in High School. He grew up playing other sports and with Golf not super present in East L.A., most kids weren't exposed to Golf from his Neighborhood. Greg was introduced to Golf in High School and the game quickly got a hold of him. Golf at the time wasn't a High School sport at his school so he single-handedly persuaded the school to start a Golf team. Through his persistence, Greg influenced enough kids to play and off they went.    As Greg's game rapidly improved, his parents got up enough money to have Greg take lessons from Jim Petrolia at Annandale G.C. in Pasadena, CA. Greg's commitment to getting better combined with Jim's instruction enabled him to become better rapidly.    I don't want to spoil the conversation with my words here. Take a deep listen to the passion and wisdom of Greg and I hope that his words inspire you, as I did I, to become a better player.                                                                                                   Jesse
