Sean Melia

Sean's golfing story starts with lessons alongside his father when he was a kid in Northern California. Now based in Boston, Sean was a classroom teacher for 13 years and is now chasing a dream as a writer while also working for an educational non-profit. Growing up playing golf competitively in high school and college, his latest self-imposed golf challenge is trying to play every golf course in Massachusetts. When he's not driving to a new part of Massachusetts to see a new golf course, you can find Sean in the TD Garden balcony cheering on the Celtics or running along the Charles River.
