New Florida Golf Course Highlights Miller's Career
The 30-year-old PGA Class A professional was captain of the Carson-Newman College team, played on the NGA Hooters Tour, won several mini-tour events and was head professional at Heritage Isles in Tampa and Bardmoor Golf & Tennis Club in Largo.
"I would say getting the head professional job at River Strand (Golf and Country Club) is a pretty big accomplishment," Miller said. "I'm pretty excited about that."
Miller, who lives in St. Petersburg, has been working primarily out of Stoneybrook Golf Club in Florida in anticipation of the opening of River Strand's first 18 holes in late September or early October.
Another nine holes of the Florida golf course will open early next year. The Arthur Hills-designed course will be open to the public until Lennar Homes sells a sufficient number of residences for River Strand to operate as a private club.
Miller - a graduate of the PGA of America's Professional Golf Management Program - said his main objective is getting the golf course staff "functioning as a unit to make sure the members and guests are getting an outstanding experience that is not available at every Florida golf course.
"I definitely enjoyed being at Bardmoor, but this is an opportunity to be at a new facility that is 27 holes," Miller said. "The fact it is designed by Arthur Hills lends instant credibility, and it's a chance to be in an attractive, upscale environment."
Away from the Florida golf course, Miller was a three-time national racquetball champion, rising to a No. 1 world ranking as a junior.
