Max Greyserman

Introduction to golf came at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; his parents, Alex and Elaine, were vacationing there and saw an ad for free lessons. Without any golf experience, they attended the session and brought Max in a stroller.

Parents were refugees of the Soviet Union from the same area but did not meet until moving to New Jersey.

Played four seasons at Duke University, progressing from a 74.9 scoring average as a freshman to 72.07 as a senior.

Won the 2015 New Jersey State Golf Association Amateur Championship, as well as the 2014 New Jersey State Golf Association Open Championship.
