Clark E Collins

Clark Collins is not your typical PGA golf professional. To say that he is would be like saying Jim Furyk has a typical golf swing or Arnold Palmer was a typical PGA tour player.

Now at age 77, Clark, a three-time cancer survivor, consistently shoots scores well below his age. His career started early working for his father, one of the original founders of the Professional Golfers Association (PGA). He was a playing professional in the mid-sixties at the prestigious Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, New York and helped design and build the North Salem Golf Club in North Salem, New York. Before moving to Florida, he was the Head Golf Professional at the Country Club of Darien in Darien, Connecticut.

As a young player, he tied the original course record at Pebble Beach with a 65 in tournament play. He also shot 63 at the PGA East Course now called BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, site of the 1971 PGA Championship, and holds two other course records. He also had an outstanding record in S-2 Combat Intelligence while serving in the Marine Corps.

Clark is also an accomplished artist. He constructed a large boat storage Marina completely unassisted driving in over 116 pylons into bedrock and designed and built a golf learning center in Stuart, Florida. Later he designed and built a one of a kind car from scratch viewed in the Bugatti, Aston Martin, Bentley price range. His Perfect Putter invention is just another part of his love for tinkering, creating and building.
