About Owen
​
As the Director of Instruction at the Country Club of Maryland, my career path was unconventional. Introduced to golf at an early age by my father, a skilled golfer, I initially engaged in other activities such as motorcycle riding, building tree forts, and earning my Eagle Scout badge. At 16, I developed an interest in bicycle road racing, which became my focus for the next five years. This included training at the Colorado Olympic Training Center, with aspirations for a professional cycling career. Due to several unforeseen knee surgeries and leaving the racing scene, I began to pursue golf more seriously, participating in local tournaments and working seasonally at various South Florida courses including PGA National Resort & Spa. Observing PGA Academy Instructors inspired me to pursue a career in golf instruction. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to learn from several esteemed teachers. Here are a few of them.
