At age 39, Ryan earned the position of Head Golf Professional at Tamarack Country Club in Greenwich, CT which to this day, makes him tingle with gratitude and appreciation.  Ryan's perspective, work ethic, ability to rebound, and relentless pursuit to achieve his dreams, is something all golf professionals can be enlightened by.  In his mind, there is no "Club Pro Crisis", as he is a living, breathing example of a kid who loved golf actually seeing his dreams come true to be a Head Golf Professional one day.
