Sean Isaacks
PERSONAL – Sean lives in Grass Valley, California and is single with no kids. He works as a cashier at the Shell station and has been golfing since he was about 10.
TIE TO THE MONTEMAR – The profile for Justin Isaacks came out a while ago but has everything to do with Sean’s road to the Montemar. In case you don’t remember, Justin was a very unlikely first hire for me here at Bartley. His resume didn’t make it through the initial stack but I was lucky enough to find it after searching a little harder. If I wasn’t so picky about the people I hire, Justin or Sean wouldn’t be playing in this Montemar.
It sounds like it’s worked out real well for the brothers also, as Sean mentioned to me that now that Justin is around the game all the time, the two have found something they can do and bond over together. He says he has a lot of fun and quality time with his brother on the golf course.
I met Sean a few weeks ago at my course and he seems like a great guy – no surprise considering who his older brother is. We’re pumped to have Sean at the Montemar.
ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MONTEMAR – Nothing yet but there’s still time left.
WHAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN IN 2024 – Sean heads to the 2024 Montemar with the benefit of being a returner and the handicap difference that comes with it. His handicap for round one will be nearly three times greater than it was a year ago and it will place him in a division where he can do some damage and climb that leaderboard early. To really contend for a jacket, Sean needs to put some pressure on his older brother to actually get out and practice golf. Justin using his resources, he runs a driving range, and learning to play to his ability, would go a long way towards helping Sean with the much needed scramble points. No matter how it plays out, the Isaacks crew seems set up for another great vacation. Glad to have Sean back on board!
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN 2024 – Sean opened up the 2024 Montemar with a very respectable round at Circling Raven but then made the same mistake as many and failed to turn in two completed scorecards on time. I don’t think the Isaacks brothers show up to these things to win though, it’s more to have a great time and hang out, as it should be. Sean and his crew had a blast again Coeur D’Alene.
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN 2025 - For the third year in a row Sean will tee it up at the Montemar. His payment points are improved this year and he’s playing with another healthy handicap. If he can garner the scorecard points and catch a little luck, there’s no reason he can’t come out of Reno with his top lifetime finish.
