Jene Conrad
PERSONAL - Jene lives in Elk Grove, California with his wife Kristine and their son, Vincent (3). He works as an art framer in Sacramento and has a graphic design business on the side. Jene started golfing in high school after he got his first job at a driving range.
TIE TO THE MONTEMAR - One day in early 2012, PJ McGloughlin (not in the Montemar, yet) was driving down Newhall street and noticed something that caught his attention. It was Neil Krech printing shirts out of Simon’s garage. Long story short, PJ invited us to move our business from said garage and into the back of All Out Baseball, where he was the Manager and a guy named Tim Wat was the assistant manager. We quickly became buddies with Tim and fast forward many years later, Jon Wat, Tim’s little brother, also a Montemar player, and their dad, were waiting in the school pickup line dressed in their golf gear. Jene realized he had just seen them playing that morning at Emerald Lakes. Shortly after, at a birthday, Jene and Jon met up again and a golfing connection was born, and we add another good one to the Montemar.
Jene seems like a really good dude, makes sense as we got him from Jon, and is donating one of the most creative prizes in Montemar history. He seems like a great family man as well, one who loves to golf, and another great addition to this tournament. Hoping we keep Jene around for many years to come.
ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MONTEMAR - Jene is donating a customer built framed Montemar keepsake. I’ve seen the mockup and it’s really cool. Thanks, Jene!
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN - Had he taken his dad’s advice as a kid and joined the high school golf team, Jene may be somebody on my radar as a potential dark horse to sneak in here and do some damage as a rookie. He ignored his dad’s advice, as did I, and because of this, Jene will join myself and many others just showing up and hoping for a respectable finish. Kevin Kisner has made a living doing this on tour and it still makes for a pretty awesome life. To have a respectable showing, Jene will need to make sure his Iron game is dialed in for the Par 3s. He’ll need some luck with the random stuff and the draft. Sometimes not knowing many can really help him the draft. His scramble team should be solid and is built near perfect for the format we’re rolling out this year.
ODDS TO WIN – 62-1
FUN FACT – Jene will be playing with some of the oldest clubs at the Montemar. He still swings the old Taylormade super steel bubble shaft woods and Ping Eye 2 irons.
