Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!

Welcome to The Knackered Golfist Podcast, 

Tim Hovancsek PGA Master Professional is someone who has been an integral part of Sacramento California area golf for over 30 years.  Originally from Cleveland Ohio, Tim Hovancsek started teaching and instructing golf in the Phoenix Arizona area and then later in the Sacramento California area.  

I first met Tim at the Haggin Oaks Golf Course in Sacramento California as a golf instructor back in 1990 and is my first and only golf coach.  Since I met him he was an integral part of bringing the LPGA to the Sacramento California area market every year in early April the week after the Dinah Shore from 1996 to 2008.  The tournament  was called the Twelve Bridges LPGA Classic, Longs Drugs Challenge, and the CVS Pharmacy LPGA Challenge.  Tim was a key figure in starting this tournament back in 1996 at the Twelve Bridges Golf Club in Lincoln California.  Since then he has had a successful tenure as head golf coach at Sierra College in Rocklin California and later at William Jessup University in Rocklin California.  Coaching at William Jessup University yielded being selected as NAIA Men's Golf Coach of the Year in 2017, also receiving NAIA All-Academic Team status, and finishing 7th place at the 2017 NAIA National Men's Golf Championship.    

Back in 2010, Tim went through a series of health challenges where he had two near death experiences.  These experiences are explained in detail in his book called "Heaven's Nice, Been There Twice".  His book was released back in June of 2020 and can be purchased through Amazon.com.  He is Christian and loves to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.    

Today, he is retired and really is excited about volunteering for "The Patriot All-America Invitational" that is from December 27th to December 31st, 2020 at The Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield Park Arizona.    

I really think this episode is amazing and I am so thankful to Tim Hovancsek for allowing me the time to do this interview.  

Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist.
