Brett Fernandes, PGA Head Professional

 

Given that this is my first time writing a newsletter to the membership, I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to introduce myself to those of you who may not know me—and to share what Laurel Creek Country Club truly means to me and my family.

Long story short, the Fernandes family has been proud members of the club since 1999. My uncle, Manny Fernandes, first brought me to Laurel Creek when I was just five years old
As the years passed, I spent countless summer days golfing with my dad, Vic, my brother, Bryan, and occasionally my mom, Jen. We dined at the club often and looked forward to every parent-child tournament on the calendar. My brother and I spent our summers in golf camp, learning the game from the late Ken Zimmer and from our now Head Golf Professional Emeritus—and my fellow staff member—Glen Gardner. Talk about full circle.

All of this has led me to where I am today: serving in my dream role as Head Golf Professional at Laurel Creek Country Club. I am incredibly honored to step into this position and to work alongside our fantastic golf staff and the broader team of department heads.

My goal is simple: to help continue the upward momentum of this great club and to ensure that all of you—our valued members—create the same lasting memories at Laurel Creek that my family and I have cherished over the past 25 years.

I look forward to seeing you out on the course.
