The OGC Team

Steve Latimer, PGA joins the OGC Team as the PGA Head Golf Professional this season. He brings a vault of experience, as he will become a member of the PGA Quarter Century Club this season. His previous jobs include Assistant Professional positions at Stafford CC, Bristol Harbour GC and Blue Heron Hills CC. Most recently, he was the Women’s Golf Coach at Niagara University, the Head Golf Professional at Genesee Valley Golf Course, and a Club Fitter/Teaching Professional at Pennfair Golf. At Pennfair, Steve became a Certified Club Fitter from Ping and Mizuno.

Steve has been an active participant in Western New York PGA events. He has won 2 individual wins, and 27 Pro-Am wins in his career. He was runner-up in the 1997 WNY Open and the 2008 WNYPGA Section Match Play.

His approach in golf instruction is not only solid swing fundamentals, but a consistent and dedicated approach to the mental game. Solid swing fundamentals will obviously allow a player to strike the ball the way he or she wants. Most players a fundamental flaw or two, with constructive practice, can drastically improve their contact. Every player, with a positive mental outlook towards the game will always get the most out of their performance.

My name is Jason Thomas and I will be the Golf Operations Manager for the Ontario Golf Club. I was born and raised in the Town of Webster and have lived in Ontario for the past 19 years. I have been in Law Enforcement for the past 24 years with the last 20 years working for the Webster Police Department where I just retired as a Lieutenant. I am excited to be a part of the revitalization of the Ontario Golf Club. This course holds a special place for me as my two sons both played high school golf for Wayne Central and OGC was their home course. Golf has been a passion of mine my entire life and I have been in a league at OGC for the last several years. I look forward to seeing OGC becoming the gem it once was. See you on the course.
