Steve Howard
Pro/Manager

- 16 yrs. experience
- 5 years at EGC

Steve is our course pro/manager here at Elizabethton Golf Course. Steve brings a variety of experiences to the table that has helped EGC become the most exciting golf course in the area.

Steve's background in golf is in a word impressive. Steve spent a good deal of his career at Louisburg College, where he coached golf and worked as a math professor. He then spent three years as the assistant business manager of the university. This golf/business background makes Steve the perfect component on our staff here at EGC.

In addition to his love of the game, and his business background, Steve has also served as a course superintendent. This additional experience helps Steve to understand course maintenance and better conduct the golf course as a whole.

Steve's day-to-day duties require him to wear many hats. In addition to his responsibilities as the course pro, Steve has a variety of other managerial and tutorial tasks that he is required to perform.

As the pro, Steve gives lessons to all types of players and is expected to be very knowledgeable about the course. He is required to oversee the groundskeeping and make certain that the course is kept in top shape.

On the business side, Steve handles all of our financial and planning aspects. Payroll, pro-shop sales, and all other management functions are all just a part of Steve1s responsibilities. The board of directors is very confident in Howard's abilities, and Steve works hard to keep the board well-informed on the daily activities at the course.

Despite the workload, Steve still has time to enjoy the game of golf and the course which he works hard to manage."With all the public golf courses in our price range, we present a good product,"Howard says. "Challenging for the top players yet enjoyable for the high handicapper."
