Dan Bush

Tournament Official

dbush@nfjg.org

Dan was born in Minneapolis, Mn. Active in all sports, Dan finally found his true love in Golf where he was All-Conference in his senior year in High School (the only year he played on the golf team). After a year at the University of MN, he then attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie, WI, where he played and lettered on the golf team. Dan then decided that his passion for service would be best suited in the restaurant industry and moved to Florida where he became General Manager for Bennigan’s in Tampa. He finally decided that his two passions, golf and service, is the natural combination of a PGA Professional and is now enrolled in the PGA Professional Golf Management Program. Excited about the opportunity to work with NFJG, he plans on relying on an old phrase, “the best way to learn is to teach.” Dan is currently an Assistant Golf Professional at Marsh Creek Country Club.
