Thursday, April 14, - Shelton-Mason County Journal Page A—25 Pro: Former Shelton High, collegiate golfer takes over from page A-23 operation, but more importantly live out my passion as a golfer and work at a golf course every day,” Cation wrote. “When I came back from college in Ar- kansas four years ago, the assistant pro job opened up and I knew it was too good of an opportunity not to pursue a career in the golf industry and for- tunately Sam took a chance on me and gave the assistant pro job starting my career in the PGA program.” Cation .wrote that his first memory of golf was playing on a course in Sasebo, Japan, where his father was stationed with the Navy. When his father was eventually stationed in Bremerton, Cat- ‘ ion’s family looked at several area golf courses beforesettling on a home at Alderbrook. He started working at the Alderbrook clubhouse at age 15, washing carts un- der then-pro Justin Gravatt ‘while com- peting for Shelton High School and in various youth tournaments. . After his 2014 high school gradua- tion, Cation competed for Grays Harbor College for two seasons before getting an offer to play NCAA Division I golf at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff for the final two years of his col- legiate eligibility. Following his final season with the Golden Lions —- which compete in the Southwestern Athletic Conference against teams from Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi — Cation returned to Union. ’ Cation wrote that when 'it'comes to teaching, he prefers to keep everything as simple as possible, regardless of working with an experienced golfer or someone that’s just starting out. “Nothing brings me joy more than wuymnn ,Wendssmmcuai I Interim. puma land rinsed In aPCU 333m.

If I can keep the player wanting to learn more and keep practicing, then that’s a win for me. ~ “I always ask my students what they want toachieve‘ out of each lesson. Then it’s my job to make that happen.” Cation feels Alderbrook is a fun and challenging course for golfers of all skill levels, and wrote that it is “truly a hid- den gem, well worth the time for play- ers to play.” His goal is for players to» feel welcome and have golfing experi- ence that makes them want to return. “To this day Alderbrook is the only establishment I’ve ever worked at,” Cat- ion wrote. “Alderbrook is more than a workplace for me. It’s my home and the members in this community are fam- ily to me. That is why I’m so proud to have my first head pro position here at Alderbrook.” ‘ a onwmw .n RefersmAnnuaL \ hgiamraMlnlmui-n 3 .
