Shim LaGoy
Master PGA Professional

I feel very fortunate to have been selected as the fourth golf professional in the history of Orinda Country Club. While my time of service has been nearly twenty years it seems as though it has passed very swiftly. The club is considered one of the leading private equity country clubs in California and maybe even the West Coast. Working at a facility with a “classic” designed golf course and a unique clubhouse, fitness center, ranked tennis professionals and their programs, plus an award winning aquatics program just makes the job more special.
