Our Team

Craig, a Maryland native, graduated from Coastal Carolina University in Myrtle Beach with a degree in Professional Golf Management and Marketing. After spending 7 years as a Golf Professional and rarely having the opportunity to work on his own game, he joined the Golf Zoo team in 2005. Now playing all the golf he can handle is a part of the job!

Lori began her exciting career at Golf Zoo in 2002 and has the distinction of being one of the original Golf Vacation specialist with the company.

Glen has been playing golf for over 45 years and is a native of Upstate New York. Glen has been with Golf Zoo almost 13 years and basically started the Florida region for Golf Zoo.

Mark is a native Floridian living in the Orlando area and has played courses all over Florida and the United States, plus Caribbean and Bermuda since taking up the game at the age of 7. He lived in North Carolina for eight years as well… that may explain the slight southern accent and high expectations for great southern hospitality.

Mike grew up in New Jersey before migrating south to Myrtle Beach, SC in 2000 to attend college at Coastal Carolina University. Now having lived half of his life in South Carolina, he has adjusted to the slower pace a bit (but still struggles with it from time to time). He didn’t pick up the game of golf until after college, but he quickly fell in love with the game… even though he still considers himself a hack.

Todd who “used” to be a stick… now is a better than average hack…attended Coastal Carolina University and Horry-Georgetown Tech with ambitions to become a golf pro.

Yes… his name is actually Skip Skipper! Ever since he was 5 years old and his father put an Arnold Palmer 4-wood in his hands, Skip has had a love affair with the game of golf. Competing in tournaments of all formats from a young age to present day has only fueled his passion for the game over the years.

Jamie Roderick, originally from Bristol, RI, moved to Myrtle Beach in 2001 after graduating from Northeastern University, in Boston MA, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. After graduating, Jamie worked as a private investigator for a Criminal Defense Attorney in Boston for 5 years, but his love for golf took him south to Myrtle Beach where he’s lived, worked, and played for the past 18 years.

Kelsey was born and raised in Tyler, TX and didn’t pick up a golf club until age 12, she’s been hooked ever since. As a student-athlete she played for the University of North Texas and after graduating moved to Scottsdale, AZ to pursue professional golf. Competing the last 6 years on the Cactus Tour was a dream come true, with one professional win and a top three finish on the money list in 2016.

While in college, Brenton started working on the maintenance crew at a golf course in Springfield, MO. It was here where Brenton found his love for the game of golf.

Derek utilizes his local knowledge to help bring golfers from all over to play the best places in town. Not only can he help with where to play and where to stay, he has the inside scoop on exactly where to take your group to have fun and to eat!

Eddie has resided on the Grand Strand for 29 years and has seen every golf course come and some go. He has done it all from bag drop to Head Golf Professional.

Nikki chose beautiful Hilton Head Island, SC to raise her family and begin her career in Golf nearly ten years ago. Her passion for making golf dreams come true is unrivalled.

Rick, a serial entrepreneur, has started many travel related businesses since 1982 including Tours de Sport, Golf Zoo, EasyRes Technologies, ResLogic, and VAVA Frozen Yogurt.

Ed was born and raised in Baltimore, MD. Happily married to his wife Janine for over 38 years (Wow!) We are thrilled that our daughter Ashley and her husband added the newest member to the Holofcener family, our granddaughter Violeta (Vivi), born in 2019. Their son Adam and his wife are proud parents of their grandson Wally, born in 2017.

Born and raised in Baltimore, Jean’s attempts at skiing revolved around the Annual “Spider” Sabich Memorial Ski Club trek to Seven Springs. That lasted about 4 years and then it was time for a new sport and a new boyfriend. Started with Tours de Sport in 2001 as the Financial and Personnel Manager and she has stayed safely behind her desk ever since.

Chad, a father of 3, has lived most of his life in Upstate NY, but after graduating from SUNY Oswego with a degree in Marketing, he moved to the Baltimore area. Even though his golf game could seriously improve (breaking 100 is a ‘win’), he has taken up foot golf and has found he is much better kicking a soccer ball then swinging a club on the course.

Craig has spent most of his life in the Baltimore area, but currently resides in Hampstead. After graduating from Towson University with a degree in Marketing in 2008, he started at Golf Zoo / Tours de Sport in the operations department where he currently resides as the Operations Manager.

Jessica, a New Jersey native, relocated to Baltimore since becoming a Towson University alum in 2014. During her 4 years there she was a student-athlete as a goalkeeper for the women’s soccer team. She started with Golf Zoo as an intern and after graduating with a degree in Marketing, she was working full time that summer. In her free time Jessica enjoys sports, watching Netflix, and hiking. She is an avid fan of the New York Yankees, as well as New York Jets.
