After 3 very successful years on the board, in 2010 Bill was asked to run Secretary, then Vice President, and is presently President of the Connecticut PGA Section. Knowing there was a need for year-around practice with the long winters in the northeast, Bill started Golf Lab in Newtown in 2013 which has been a huge success for his students to grow in the off season.
