Curt Hudek

Curt has lived in Phoenix over 20 years. Drawn by its weather and “golf”, Curt has enjoyed a variety of business careers in real estate, education and golf. Out of college, his first 10 years were as a CPA including 5 years with Ernst and Young as a Real Estate tax consultant, and Public Accountant. He then moved to the Golf Industry with Cobblestone Golf Group and the Tournament Players Club Network managing golf facilities in Arizona and Nevada for 8 years. In 2001, his interest in education led him to the newly created Professional Golf Management Program at Arizona State University which allows students to earn a business degree and the PGA credential at the same time. Under his guidance, the program grew from 40 students in 2001 to over 200 in 2007. In 2008, Curt became the Executive Director of the Southwest Section PGA. This section encompasses the state of Arizona and Clark County (Las Vegas/Mesquite) Nevada and includes more than 1,300 PGA professionals and apprentices.
