MEET THE PROS BRETT SHERMAN PGA CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE GOLF INDUSTRY? I have been in the Golf Industry for 17 years, and I have also been in The Villages for 17 years so it is safe to say I " cut my teeth " learning The Villages Way! WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE VILLAGES? I am a life-long Sumter County resident. I LOVE Sumter County so there is nowhere else I would want to be. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR RESIDENTS GOLFING IN THE VILLAGES? Remember to always have fun. Golf can be a frustrating game but also an enjoyable one. Sometimes your best rounds come when you relax and just go out to have fun. WHAT'S THE MOST INTERESTING HOLE AT YOUR COURSE AND WHY? Calusa #8 because it has not one but two carries over water. It is a unique hole to make an Eagle or a Triple Bogey. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR LEISURE? I will fish anywhere I can find water, and I like to spend time with my wife and kids. KEVIN SACKVILLE GOLF PROFESSIONAL HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE GOLF INDUSTRY? Golf is a lifelong passion. But after college when golf was over, I just could not leave the game behind. I started my career managing golf resort properties and teaching golf for Marriot Hotels and the John Jacobs Golf Schools. It just took off from there. WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE VILLAGES? After raising a family in New England and calling the state of Maine home for many years, I got an opportunity to relocate to The Villages and work at Tierra Del Sol in a year-round golf climate. Being closer to my mom, who is a Villages resident of 23 years and lives on the 15th hole of Tierra Del Sol, was also an omen and deciding factor! 28 FEBRUARY 2022
