The Shawnee Inn Taking Bergstol to Hooters

Thursday, October 25, 2007 (Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania) – The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort recently sponsored Brian Bergstol to be the resort’s touring professional golfer. Bergstol, of Mt. Bethel, PA, will be departing to take place in the National Golf Association’s (NGA) Hooter’s Pro Golf Tour this Saturday, October 27th.

Brian, 22, recently graduated from Moravian College where he majored in economics and finance. In addition to academics, he also led Moravian’s golf team in points four years in a row earning the title of captain both his junior and senior years.

Though his college career may seem stunning, last year alone Bergstol claimed over 16 different tournament wins including the Lehigh Valley Amateur Championships, where he won five of six tournaments setting club records in four. There is no doubt that Brian’s success in the Lehigh Valley contributed to his nomination as the Lehigh Valley Player of the Year for the last two years running.

Brian began playing golf later than most of his colleagues. At age 16 he was competing against golfers that were more experienced than him. Unlike Bergstol who taught himself golf, many of his competitors also took lessons and were coached by local golf professionals.

The Shawnee Inn was his high school’s course, and it is also where he formed a relationship with the resort. Since then, Brian has been working in the golf shop giving lessons and sharpening his own game. With his handicap of five better than scratch it is obvious that the work is paying off.

The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is proud to welcome Brian Bergstol to our family, and wish him the best of luck at the Hooters Pro Golf Tournament. To interview Brian call the Shawnee Inn Golf Shop at: (570) 424-4000 ext. 1480 or visit www.shawneeinn.com.
