Pete Wlodkowski
Founder of AmateurGolf.com, launched June of 2000 in Pebble Beach at the U.S. Open. Member, Olympic Club, Goat Hill Park, and Torrey Pines Mens Club. I love to play all types of courses, muni or private. An enjoyable walk, quality shot values, and good people make all the difference. I've never won a major amateur event, or qualified for a USGA championship. But I have won club championships on both coasts - three in California and one in my home state of Connecticut.
