The golf course is the one place in my life where everything else melts away and I can focus on one thing. I love the feeling of endless possibilities and that no matter how long you have played this game you can always learn something new. What is your favorite place to travel? I'm still an Ontario girl at heart so I am always drawn to eastern Canada. They have some of the most beautiful golf courses and it will always feel like home. However, since living on the west coast I have fallen in love with Oregon. The rugged seascapes, the sand dunes, the golf; it's a gorgeous place to visit. What hobbies do you have other than golf? I have recently discovered a love for photography. I am drawn to the challenge of creating a picture that represents my viewpoint. There is an enormous learning curve when it comes to understanding the basics of great photos and I love that feeling of endless improvement. I guess it reminds me of golf in a way. [Young Keri Moffat with her Father] What is your biggest accomplishment? Winning PGA of BC Teacher Of The Year. It was a great feeling knowing that all my efforts had been recognized by my peers. The award was also an unforgettable moment in my life as I found out about my nomination in time to tell my father before his passing. He was my biggest fan and my mentor and to be able to share that with him will stay in my heart forever. What would you do if you didn't teach golf? I really don't know. It's all I have ever known and the only thing I have ever loved to do. I stepped away from golf for four years in my early 20s and then realized that I missed the industry, the people; I missed golf. I started teaching 15 years ago and have never looked back.
