2011 NJPGA Golf Professional of the Year

Daniel Pasternak, Head PGA Professional/ Chief of Operations

Dan Pasternak has been our Head PGA Professional since 2003, and Chief of Operations since March of 2010. He came to us after serving as Head Professional at Springdale Golf Club (Home of Princeton University) and Madison Golf Club. He turned Professional in 1991, and was honored by the New Jersey PGA with the 2007 Golf Professional of the Year Award; as well as, the 2007, 2008 and 2010 Bill Strausbaugh Employment and Club Relations Award. In October 2011, Dan again received the NJPGA Highest Honor, Golf Professional of the Year, joining a very short list as only the 5th Professional to receive the award a second time (2007). Dan was also named the 2011 Bill Strausbaugh award recipient for contributions to employment and club relations in New Jersey. This is the fourth time Dan has received this prestigious award.

Dan is currently serving as Honorary President of the New Jersey Section PGA. He has previously served as President, Vice President & Secretary; he is also Trustee of the New Jersey Golf Foundation and on the Special Olympics NJ Tournament Committee.

Although Dan is respected nationally as a leader in the PGA of America, his first priority is the club. During his tenure, he has upgraded every area of the golf operation and his extensive managerial background makes him a natural fit as our Managing Director.
