What’s in your bag?
I have all Callaways except for my driver (a Ping ISA) and my putter (Ping).
Describe your best round (where, when, highlights):
It was a long time ago at Poquoy Brook. That’s when I was playing a lot. I shot a 67.
If you could be a dream foursome, who would be in it?
I think I’d like to play in a foursome with Ernie Els, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. I bet there would be a lot of money bet in that match.
Describe your introduction to golf (who, where, how old you where, and how the game attracted you):
I grew up on Poquoy Brook. My father, Ralph Mattos, was the club’s first professional. Once you play there, how can you not like the game.
What is your favorite golf course (and why?) besides your current club:
Poquoy Brook will always be my favorite course because of the memories and because it is such a great layout. But I’m also a member at Segregansett Country Club in Taunton and that’s a wonderful old club. And it’s in great condition.
What’s the best golf tip you ever received?
It was down South. An old pro said, ‘When it’s breezy, swing the club easy.’
What makes your home golf course so special?
What makes D.W. Field special to me is what they can do here. They don’t have the biggest budget, but they get the most out of every dollar. Plus, it’s a great membership here. Plus, you get a great bang for your buck. We have a golf and cart special for only $30.
