Meet the Pros: Nathan Wirth

It’s that special time again …. we’re back with FLX Tour’s Meet the Pros!

WAIT A MINUTE! THAT’S NATHAN WIRTH’S MUSIC! We’re excited and honored to bring you this segment with this nice young man. Nathan Wirth’s FLX Tour roots go way back to the spring of 2009 when he, Gene Ferrera, Shane Driffill, and Matt Driffill were members of the SUNY Brockport Club Golf team. After taking several years off post college, Wirth is back on the links and chasing the dream.

A proud Genny Light drinker, Wirth currently boasts a No. 23 ranking for Young Man of the Year. Though he’s not a favorite to win any tournament he enters, he’s a favorite to play with as his fun meter is constantly high — often due to raiding Tommy 10 Pins’ stash of weed. Though his golf game remains a work in progress, Wirth is known about these parts as a Bleed Blue legend, making second team all county 4x in high school for the Eastridge Lancers for both lacrosse and football.

Hook ’em!
