Don Brigham
Greetings from Don Brigham. I arrived Friday April 30, 2021 and on Saturday May 1st I began work as your new Golf Professional. I am delighted to join you at this very special club.
I am a native Texan and spent my formative years in Oklahoma. After graduation from Oklahoma Baptist University I moved to the Cape and married my college sweetheart Diana Johnson from South Yarmouth.
My golf career took me from my first professional job at the Bass River Golf Club in South Yarmouth to The Quechee Club in Vermont, and after a one-year stint on The PGA Tour, to The Country Club of Florida in Boynton Beach. I was then selected as the Head Golf Professional at Rumson Country Club in Rumson, N.J. where I served for 22 years.
I have been “semi” retired since my days at Rumson and have sought seasonal positions which allow us to winter in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. These include stints on the professional staff at the Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey, The Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, and most recently at The Golf Club of New England in New Hampshire.
Diana and I have three grown kids, Brooke, Corey, and Devin and are blessed with three amazing grandkids.
I’m looking forward to a great season. I’m here to help you improve your golf, to help you enjoy your time at the club and to do my best to keep you coming back.
