Mike Gascho, Class "A" PGA of Canada Professional
Mike grew up just outside of Fenelon Falls and has a long history with the Sturgeon Point Golf Club. He started playing golf at age 7, when his mother, Mary Gascho, who was working in the SPGC Pro Shop would bring him to work and he would hit golf balls to pass the time. Mike started working at the club at age 11, picking up balls out of the woods surrounding the practice range. His passion for the game only grew from there, and he went on to graduate from Georgian College's Professional Golf Course Management Program in 2000. Mike turned pro in 2001. He apprenticed for many years at Wolf Run & Lindsay Golf & Country Club while teaching at SPGC. In 2016, Mike's mother Mary retired from her position as General Manager at SPGC and Mike proudly took over the reins, becoming SPGC's Director of Golf Operations. After 30 years at SPGC, Mike is honoured and excited to bring this historic golf course into a new era, motivating young golfers to embrace the game, and serving long-standing members with his friendly and accessible customer service.
