But the game of golf wouldn’t stop calling, and Hamilton returned to work in the game as an assistant pro in 1976. They were the only team who got the better of us in those years.”Īfter high school, Hamilton played a year of college golf at Texas Christian University before returning home to study journalism at Suffolk University. “We beat pretty much everybody, but for some reason we always ran into trouble against Haverhill. “We had a great team for years in Peabody, we had a lot of really talented players,” Hamilton said. As a golfer at Peabody High, Hamilton was a standout who went undefeated in his junior and senior seasons for the powerhouse Tanners. From there, Hamilton started playing junior golf at Happy Valley (now Gannon Golf Club) under the tutelage of Larry Gannon. It started with his older brother, a caddie at Salem Country Club who introduced the game to Hamilton when he was nine years old. The great people that Hamilton refers to came to him at all different times in his life, and each taught him crucial lessons about the game that would become his profession. “I’ve learned so many things about the game and the business of golf over the years from so many great people, and I’ve done my best to pass that knowledge along in my time as a professional.”
“It’s been a long career, but I’ve loved every minute of it,” said Hamilton, 67, who has been at Eastward Ho! since 1999. And at the end of the 2019 golf season, Hamilton - a Peabody native - will close out his 41-year career by retiring as the head golf professional at the legendary Eastward Ho! Country Club in Chatham. It all started with smacking balls around Happy Valley Golf Course as a junior golfer in the 1960s, and the game of golf has taken Brian Hamilton to many places since then.
