Welcome to the Home Page of Ted O'Rourke, Head PGA Golf Professional at the Morris County Golf Club. This site will be the official site of my campaign and run to the Office of Secretary of the PGA of America in the fall of 2010.
Although I will be using multiple media platforms to keep people informed of my progress, please check back often to see news and announcements in regard to my run to office.

I have been a member of the PGA of America for over 27 years. Currently, I reside in Morris County, NJ, with my wife Amy and 2 grown children Liam and Conor.
Here are some of my accomplishments:

• Head PGA Professional Morris County Golf Club, Convent Station, NJ-1991-present
• National PGA Board Member; District 2-2003-2007
• President New Jersey Section PGA-2002-2004
• Callaway Golf Advisory Council 2005-present

• Merchandiser of the Year, New Jersey Section, PGA 1995
• New England Open Champion-1990
• National PGA Assistants Champion-1981

I am a huge sports fan especially of the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I have been active in my community sitting on the Mendham Borough School Board. My father, Edward O'Rourke was an active supporter of the New England PGA before he died almost 10 years ago. A scholarship in his memory has been established to assist New England PGA members' children in their educational pursuits.
Throughout my PGA career, I have worked at different types of golf clubs; a private 18 hole facilities, a Golf Course with 27 holes and a 250 room hotel, and a 36 Hole Facility. I am currently in my 19th year as PGA Head Golf Professional at Morris County Golf Club.
