My name is Jere' Pelletier. I was born and brought up in
Lynn, Mass. I am one of five brothers, two sisters and a
myriad of foster children my Mom and Dad raised. I moved to N.H. in late '89. I have 2 great
children,
Shawn and Briana, 4 grandchildren. Shawn resides in
Jacksonville Florida. Briana in New Hampshire. I am extremely proud of my kids,
and love them more than words can describe!
I was a fire fighter in Lynn, Mass. and was hurt
(knees) fighting
a fire in January of 1981. I ended up retiring as a result
of the injury in 1984. Being still able to golf, I ended up
in Florida looking for work, and ended up working at Royal Oak Country Club, in Titusville, Fla.
Starting out as a ranger and starter, that changed when
playing with the pro's at the course on an even basis (no
strokes given or taken) and taking a few bucks off of
them, I was moved up to an assistant pro position
there in 1985. I fell in love with the golf business, the intricacies
of different equipment, and have been a teaching pro
ever since.
The Golf Guy shop is the result of $15 as a start-up
cost ( 1 set of clubs sold in front of my house in a yard
sale), In order to grow the business I ended up eating
virtually nothing but peanut butter, raisin bran, and cheap
tuna fish for several years. By re-investing
profits year after year, the shop has grown into a great
business, and I am fortunate enough to own a house in
Florida and be able to play and teach all year long.
I live to a quote by Abraham Lincoln .."people are about
as happy as they make up their minds to be"
I learned my teaching
skills from a variety of other golf pro's, and have a God
given gift of being able to see your swing in slow motion,
making it much easier to delineate what your swing strengths
and flaws are; most of my students are able to learn at an
accelerated rate as a result. I have quite a strong following,
and enjoy sharing in my clienteles successes.
