Matt competed in a field of 60 boys from across the United States, Mexico, and Hong Kong. To qualify for the event, a player had to finish in the top three in his State Championship in 2005. This was Matt’s best finish against a national field of competitors. Congratulations Matt!

Anglebrook Golf Club Hires Matt Sullivan as General Manager

Anglebrook Golf Club has announced the appointment of Matt Sullivan as General Manager. Sullivan, 43, joins Anglebrook fresh off stints with Bergen Hills Country Club and The Golf Club at Mansion Ridge.

A 15-year golf industry veteran, Sullivan worked at Anglebrook in a public and media relations role during 2001-2003, and has done consulting work for several other golf clubs in the Metropolitan area.

Sullivan calls Anglebrook “one of those rare venues where golf simply feels more like golf,” and considers the club a wonderful mix of old and new. “Anglebrook is a traditionally designed golf course, and has the clubhouse and dining to provide a world-class golf experience.”

Executive Director Kiyoshi Sugasawa says, “We will draw on Matt’s experience as a marketer and a manager to help us continue to carve out our niche in Westchester golf.”

Sullivan is a former award-winning golf writer and editor, and has written for Time, Newsday, The Bergen Record, and Travel & Leisure Golf. He lives in Maywood, New Jersey with his wife Lara and daughter Emily.

Anglebrook opened in 1998 and quickly earned a national reputation for its classic design, supreme conditioning, and specatacular vistas. The last signature design by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., the course is spread generously over 240 idyllic acres in northern Westchester, and was ranked 16th best in New York State by Golf Digest in 1999.
