CHAD GELINAS
Where are you from?
Chicago, IL
How long have you been playing golf?
Started swinging a club when I was about 10, so 20 years I guess. I really started to take it seriously in the last 10 or so years.
Did you play other sports growing up?
Yes, I played baseball and tennis.
What got you into indoor golf?
Chicago’s brutal winters to be honest. I wanted to maintain my swing during the off season and when I found The Green and the GOLFZON tech they had in place, it was a no brainer to become a member.
What is your greatest accomplishment in golf?
Honestly, getting to shooting in the 70’s consistently. Going from 12 to a 6 handicap was something I didn’t think I could do. Only 3% of golfers in the world ever break 80!
What is your lowest tournament round and what was the event?
My lowest tournament round was scratch (72) at a tournament that was hosted by the American Bar Association. The course was Harborside. International in Chicago.
Did you play college golf, if so where?
GO HOOSIERS - but I never competed in golf competitively until recent years. I loved the game too much to ever want to burn myself out. I’m sure my parents wish I started sooner with college tuition costs not on an athletic scholarship.
Anything else the audience should know?
“When in doubt, sip it, grip it, and rip it.”
