About Me

A day trip to Chambers Bay

Hello. My name is David. Most of the time “I’m a Golfer Playing Doctor Today.”  I went to medical school knowing that my golf skills weren’t good enough to make golfing a full time gig.  I needed something to do on the side.  When I was in med school I read an article in Golf Digest which listed the top 100 golfers. Currently I would rank 18th on the list with a handicap of o.9.  Without additional evidence to refute this I am happy to call myself a top 100 physician golfer.  My goal is to crack the top 10.

I started residency as a surgeon.  My first day off in residency I went to the golf course and started getting pages about my patients.  I decided to switch to Emergency Medicine so I wouldn’t get paged on the golf course.  My career and my wife allow me to golf more often than I should.  

My first blog post was the inspiration behind this website. I spend a lot of time in my job getting to know people and am always intrigued by what people do. I am a golfer. Am I defined by golf? I hope to be considered more than just a golfer in life, but some days a golfer is all I want to be.

This is a site about all things Golf, some things Medical, and most things Life.
