Jason: What’s your journey through the game, and what led you to Eastward Ho!?

"My path into golf was a little unconventional. I grew up playing hockey and soccer, then became hooked on golf while playing with a close friend. My first course job was in golf operations at Ocean Edge in Brewster, Massachusetts, under Head Pro Ron Hallett and Assistant Dale Morrison. Dale introduced me to the path of becoming a PGA Professional, which led me to Florida and the PGA
education program. After working at four private clubs and earning PGA Class A status, we returned to Cape Cod, where it all began. I had several interviews with top Clubs in the area, but it was an easy choice when I was offered the position at Eastward Ho!"

Jason: What’s the most historic or untouched feature on the course that best captures Fowler's original vision?

"The valley on hole #6 best captures Fowler’s vision. He used the natural terrain
and moved little dirt, and this hole is as raw as it gets. Downwind, a drive over
the course’s biggest hill can roll into the valley for a short-iron approach. Into
the wind or right off the tee, you may finish behind the fescue hill with a 200-
yard uphill shot to a blind green and 30-foot false front."

Jason: Francis Ouimet and Johnny Farrell played an iconic match here. What local stories or details about that day are still talked about?

"A member shared this story: Before the 1932 Massachusetts Open at Oyster
Harbors, Johnny Farrell, Francis Ouimet, and Bobby Jones reportedly played
Eastward Ho! on Monday. The next day, Farrell opened with a course-record 69,
one stroke better than Ouimet, though Ouimet went on to win the tournament."

Jason: What do you look forward to the most when driving into the club every
morning?

"I love getting here early and smelling the fresh cut grass and the salty air coming
off Pleasant Bay. People often say, “you must love coming to work here every
day, it’s so beautiful” and I simply say “yes, I do love it”.
