Meet the guys
Anthony was born and raised in Upstate New York. He really fell in love with the game of golf in his early 20s, although he has been playing since he was twelve. He has a very supportive wife who knows how addicted he is to golf, so she allows him to disappear hours at a time. He has two beautiful girls who are taking after their father, also in love the game of golf! Anthony has a small business of his own and is hoping to help other small businesses grow, especially anything golf related. Anthony also has a love for podcasting, and in 2024 he started his own, and called it “The Upstate Golf Guys”. They are highlighting their trips to Cape Cod with a ton of golf talk in between! Now at age 40 Anthony holds a 17 handicap and is continuing to get better one day at a time!
Mike “Mikey”
A Troy native, Mike’s journey with golf started slow and later in life, at age 35 he started bringing his kids to the driving range and batting cages for some family bonding. It grew to him going to the driving range alone on weekends to learn the game and then he was hooked! He bought a cheap set of clubs and hit a local 9 hole course. Fast forward to now, Mike is 50 years old and addicted to the game of golf like most of us. Mike teamed up with Anthony, his lifelong pal and together they created the Upstate Golf Guys and their 518 Golfs the Cape journey.
Brad “Scrounge”
Nicknamed "Scrounge" because he goes into the woods to find his ball and comes out with 6 every time, Brad fell in love with the game of golf about 10 years ago. Brad moved out to Arizona in 2016 where he played golf down there all year long, and when he came back to his hometown of Troy, New York, he had the bug! He plays regularly, especially enjoying rounds with his parents and always battling his partner in crime Anthony. They both hold a 17 handicap and go back and forth beating each-other!! Brad recently started joining Mike and Anthony, on their golf trips to the Cape, they officially made Brad part of the wolf pack this year.
Meet the Team
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
Roger “RGB”
Roger was born and raised in Troy, NY and he has always been an athlete. A lifelong baseball and basketball player to be exact. He has had the competitive nature built into him since he was a child. RGB has always fooled around at Frear Park with his good friend Neil, trying to keep up and learn the game with right-handed clubs after being a lefty his whole life! He went to par 3 courses in the area to teach himself the game. At the start of the pandemic, Roger started playing some serious golf, becoming a member at Frear Park and having a really good stick, shooting in the 80s regularly…. RGB is the host of the “Pitch Putt and Puff” podcast igniting the idea for Anthony and the “Upstate Golf Guys” podcast. Anthony recently invited Roger to be part of the gang, and he will make his first Cape trip with the boys this Spring! RGB is now a co-host on the “Upstate Golf Guys” Podcast as the 4th member!
