Keith Gagnon-Head Golf Professional
Greetings to members, employees and guests of The Captains Golf Course! My name is Keith Gagnon. I am a PGA Certified Professional (Golf Operations and Teaching and Coaching) and so proud to join the team here at The Captains as co-professional! My golf odyssey leading me here with you has been 30 years in the making. I like to think of Golf as my Purpose, Passion and Profession. The game has given me more in my life than I will ever be able to re-pay. The most precious of these gifts is the gift of my family! I met my wife Kimberly, over a golf lesson while I was an Assistant Golf Professional at Eastward Ho! Country Club, in Chatham 20 years ago. Kim’s mother who worked at the club, set us up and the rest as they say is happily ever after! The great blessing for both of us is our son Keith Jr. (16), who is a student at Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, MA. Keith Jr., aside from being a fine student and the best son a Mom and Dad could dream of, participates in water polo, swimming and much to my delight, plays golf for Deerfield!
My travels professionally have taken me to a great many places and have provided a lifetime’s worth of experiences and friendships for which I am so grateful. Originally from New Hampshire, my golf career began in Loudon, New Hampshire at the family-owned Loudon Country Club. From there, I began to work in the winter months at The President Country Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. and eventually came back to New Hampshire to work as an Assistant Professional at Concord Country Club and then at Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord, New Hampshire. In 2003, I made the move to Cape Cod as an Assistant Professional at Eastward Ho! CC. Since then, I’ve worked in the Boston area at Blue Hill Country Club in Canton, then back on the Cape at The Club at New Seabury in Mashpee and at Willowbend Country Club. My last position before coming to The Captains Golf Course was with The Massachusetts Golf Association as Manager of Course Rating. Since 2015, I have had the honor and privilege to work at The Augusta National Golf Club, in Augusta Georgia, as a Tournament Support Staff Employee for The Masters Tournament and The Drive Chip and Putt National Finals! While all of this has been going on, in 2015 I graduated from Boston College with a BA in Social Science. Did I mention that I’m truly a blessed man! All the while, we have resided in Brewster, and I am delighted to be working and living in my hometown!
I am thrilled to be a part of The Captains Golf Course family and look forward to working with you and contributing to a vibrant and fun Captains Golf Course experience!
