I’m Playing In The Nationwide Event at TPC River’s Bend
Good news! I’m very pleased to announce that last week, at Walnut Grove CC in Dayton, I shot an 8-under 64 winning an SOPGA event and qualifying for this week’s Nationwide Tour event at TPC River’s Bend. We were competing for 2 spots and I was fortunate enough to get one of them. Jeff Olson, from Kinsale Golf Course in Columbus, fired a 69 to grab the other spot.
I’m looking forward to this event. I haven’t played in a big event like this in a long, long time. 9 years to be exact. It’s going to be a lot of fun. I’ll post some updates from the event when I get a chance. Thanks for everyone’s support!

About
KYLE VOSKA, PGA PROFESSIONAL
I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated from St. Michael’s, St. Xavier, and Miami University. After graduating from Miami with a Finance degree, I moved to Florida to pursue my professional golf dreams. After a few successful years and a couple of difficult years, I stopped playing full-time. After a year of caddying on the LPGA Tour for Young Jo, Kim Williams, and Angela Stanford, I moved back home to Cincinnati. Currently, I live near Sharonville with my lovely wife, Lindsay, our kids, Maclin and Ellie, and our dog, Nora.
Teaching golf for over a year in Florida and having taken and watched many lessons from PGA Certified Master Teaching Professional Carl Rabito, becoming a golf instructor was something I really wanted to do. Fortunately, I was able to find a home at Sharon Woods Golf Course in Cincinnati, my old home from the 90′s, to further this new career path. As I enter my 6th season as a golf professional, I’m excited how my role is taking shape. I assist in managing and supervising a staff of nearly 40 while teaching golf lessons to over a 100 students. Hopefully, someday I’ll have the opportunity to mentor some future golf professionals like myself.
