Founding Member and Captain (2012- 2019) Keswick, Virginia
Skip Platt grew up in Lynchburg, Virginia the youngest of four children. When he was a teenager, his parents told him that either tennis or golf would help him succeed in the professional world and handed him a tennis racket. After college, he worked in the insurance and financial services field and found his way back to golf in his 20s while living in Williamsburg, Va. A fine golfer with a keen eye, Skip often played off a scratch handicap while competing in state and local tournaments. In 2005 he started Platt Financial and took some time off from competitive golf. In 2010 he was introduced to hickory golf by Eric Wagner and was quickly hooked. “Playing hickories has reinvigorated my love of the game,” he says. He has converted his brother, Bob, and several others, to hickory golf. Skip is the current Captain and a founding member of the Virginia Hickory Golf Association (VaHGA). He and his wife, Elizabeth Ewing, live in Keswick, Va.
Skip’s Hickory Bag
I recently acquired a nice set of original George Nicoll precision irons but I am constantly looking for clubs and trying new ones. I also have a combined set of Tad Moore Star OA’s and Louisville Golf wedges with other replica woods. However this set seems to be more of a loaner set for the new converts rather than me playing with them.
