ED HUMENIK
Head Professional

THE FAMILY MAN:

The Florida Club has a Head Professional. You need to get to know Ed. He is from Detroit, Michigan. Ed and Lori, his wife of 23 years, have two children; daughter, Nancy (23) and son, Ed, Jr. (18). His daughter will be graduating this year from the U. of M. with an engineering degree. His son is starting at U.C.F. His mother lives in Jupiter.

THE GOLFER:

Ed has lived in the Stuart area since 1984. Ed played on the PGA Tour from 1989 to 1999. His best finish was 2nd place at Greensboro, North Carolina. Since Ed was based from Florida, he says the tour was a lot of traveling. When the tour was around Detroit, he based out of there and stayed with family. Sometime his wife and kids traveled with him but more often than not he traveled alone. He knows all the airports and flights.

THE PROFESSIONAL:

Since 2000, Ed no longer plays on the circuit but he does play at all the Florida events. He has also worked at the Monterrey Point Driving Range teaching and managing the Pro Shop for a couple of years; Golf Gear doing club fitting, retailing and selling for a few years; and as of a couple of months ago, became the Head Professional at the Florida Club.

THE TEACHER:

Ed provides lessons by appointment. I can tell you from personal experience that he is really good. Ask any lady golfer in the ladies league how much my chipping and pitching has improved from just one lesson from Ed. He is very patient, analytical and professional. He has a price list in the pro shop for ½ hour and hourly lessons, either private or group. If you are a beginner and wish a series of lessons, just call Ed or see him in the pro shop.
