Frank Starace - Recruiter

Frank Starace was born in Farmingdale, NY. He has been a native to South Carolina for over 22 years. Frank picked up the game of golf the summer before his freshman year of high school. Ever since that summer Frank has loved and enjoyed all aspects of the game of golf. At North Myrtle Beach High School he was selected to the All-Region Team his junior and senior years. Frank was also selected to represent the North-South team which showcases the top seniors in the state his senior year.

Frank graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2009 with a Sport Management degree and a Communication minor.

His most memorable golf moment is when he caddied for his friend Zack Byrd at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. "Standing on 10 the first round and seeing all the fans was the best feeling I have had around golf. This was by far the best week and experience I have ever had."

Outside of golf Frank enjoys playing basketball and polishing up on his ping pong skills.

He is looking forward to help in building the GNCGA to an elite academy and creating a diverse environment. He is very blessed to be working in a sport that he loves to talk about and watch at the same time.
