Dear Members,

I am pleased to announce that we have hired a new Head Golf

Professional Mr. Brent Blackburn. Brent has worked at some of the top clubs in
Texas over his career. Brent’s first stop as a Head Pro was Lakeside Country

Club in Houston where he was instrumental in creating and growing a healthy
Junior Golf Program. Brent also grew a strong Women’s Golf Program and helped

to continue that trend at his next stop Dallas Athletic Club. Brent was The
Director of Golf at DAC for five years before making the move to Gentle Creek

Country Club. Brent received awards such as Golf Professional of the Year in
2019, Merchandiser of the Year in 2017, Media/Public Relations Award in 2009,

and Southern Texas PGA Special Service Award for raising over $25,000 for
STPGA Junior Golf Foundation 2006.

Brent has a strong background in golf instruction and believes

in passing on the fundamentals of golf to all members who play or are just
learning to play. His approach to teaching is not only instructional but

also provides insight on who you are and why you play the game. Brent is calm
mannered and

thoughtful; his belief is you must get to know the player before you can assist
them with their game.
