It's Never too Late to Start with PGA Club Pro Dave McNabb
Born in Mt. Clemens, MI, Dave McNabb moved to the Delaware Valley in2010 when he was named the head golf pro at Applebrook Country Club in Malvern, PA.
Impressively, Dave didn't take up the sport of golf until his mid-20s, and has started playing some of his best golf later in life when many athletes are on the downslope of their careers.
Dave qualified for his first major PGA tournament at the age of 47. He first teed off with the pros at the 2013 PGA Championship at famed Oak Hill, and then subsequently qualified in 2014 at Valhalla and 2017 at Quail Hollow.
Dave is regarded as one of the top players in the Philadelphia area and is the proud owner of two Delaware State Open Championships and numerous Philadelphia PGA titles. Above all else, Dave’s passion lies with his family and his service to the membership at Applebrook Country Club.
In this episode, McNabb discusses starting the game of gold at a later age and how he's improved with age, and the state of golf within the younger generation including ways to make the game more enjoyable.
