About Quinlan Polin

Quin had his first encounter with golf as a four-year-old when his English father took him and his elder brother, Brendan, to Hove Lawns Golf Links in the country of Sussex on the south coast of England. He recalls having fun “hitting the balls by the beach.”

But it would be five years later before he picked up a golf club again and realized he loved the game. Fortunately, too, he found he was rather good at it!

“Q” has played at the top junior level in Soccer, Ice Hockey, and Baseball. But Golf has always been his passion.  One day he will be playing in the PGA Tour.
