Andrew Brown grew up in Pleasant Hill with two older brothers. His dad started working at Grayson Woods in Pleasant Hill when he was about 11 years old, where his dad taught golf in the afternoons and ran a junior clinic on Saturday mornings. Andrew would tag along and help with the younger kids. While in high school, he got a job in the golf shop and helped with junior camps over the summer. When he was 20, he was promoted to head golf professional and gained valuable experience that would later help with his golf career.
He decided to join Roddy Ranch Golf Club, which had a full size golf course, and was able to practice and grow his game to the next level. He won his first big golf event in 2013. Grayson Woods closed due to the drought and he and his girlfriend (now his wife) moved to Arizona and began working at Whirlwind Golf Club. There he worked in guest services and was tournament director. He proposed to his girlfriend of 9 years while on a trip to Disneyland. Missing their families, Andrew saw a job posting for Blackhawk CC and was hired to run outside events, run Blackhawkʻs club repair and his newest role as the Ninerʻs golf pro. He convinced his wife, Sarah, to quit her job, and itʻs a family affair as she now works in the BCC golf shop.
Welcome Andrew, the Ninerʻs are excited to have you leading our group!
