TJ Anthoine has always been interested in sharing golf with others. When he heard about the open coaching job in Wayland, he was eager to apply.

“I have always wanted to get into coaching a golf team,” said Anthoine.

Growing up, one of  Anthoine’s best friends lived on a golf course. He and his friends could play whenever they wanted. As Anthoine grew up, he continued to find ways to play golf.

“When I turned 14, I started working a few hours a week washing carts, which allowed me to play for free,” said Anthoine. “I haven’t stopped playing since.”

When he graduated from Methodist University in Fayeteville, NC, in 2004, Anthoine decided to become a PGA club professional. Since then, he has worked at the Brae Burn Country Club, but is now at the Weston Golf Club playing as the Assistant Pro.

Since most of the students he works with at the Weston Golf Club are teenagers, the transition to coaching at WHS was pretty smooth.

“I want to help all the players improve on their games and bring them to the next level,” said Anthoine.

Senior captain Jeremy Brofsky appreciates all the hard work Anthoine has put into helping out the team.

“He’s really a great guy,” said Brofsky. “He’s fun and I love working with him. He helps us more with our swing than our other coach did.”
