Charlie
Tawse
Former PGA Golf Professional and Coordinator of Instruction at Ben Sutton Golf School, Florida.
For Charlie Tawse, golf is more than a game -- it’s an addiction. Tawse was introduced to the game by his father, who was a golf professional in Scotland. In 1951 Tawse migrated to the U.S with family at the age of 15. As a teenager, Tawse played in all the junior and caddy tournaments in Illinois, with great success.
He left Chicago University after one semester because all he wanted to do was play golf. On the recommendation of Johnny Revolta a former PGA Champion, Tawse turned professional and served his apprenticeship under Revolta’s guidance.
When Tawse was drafted in the U.S. military, he was assigned to special services for two years, playing and teaching golf. After his service, Tawse taught at various clubs in the Chicago area before becoming an instructor at Ben Sutton Golf School in 1993. Tawse played on the U.S. and European professional tours off and on for a few years.
Tawse considers himself one of the few people who can say they have never worked a day in their life, and likes to add that his entire life has been one big round of golf. Not a day goes by that he does not learn and share more about this great game with his students.
