A native of Wingate, NC, Ben was an All-American collegiate soccer player and 15 plus year banker in Charlotte, North Carolina before moving to Mississippi and taking up the game seriously in 2019. After joining Shell Landing as a member at that time, he played/practiced long hours daily to reduce his handicap from mid double digits to scratch over a 1-2 year span and really learn the game. Since he was at the course every day, he began working part-time in the pro shop in 2020 and began as Assistant Golf Professional in July 2021. Ben assists Kenny with all of the professional responsibilities of the club, manages the cart operations team, and teaches a full slate of both youth and adult lessons while coaching one of the larger PGA Jr. Leagues in the Gulf States Section.
