Local Golf: Racine’s John Feiner has spent a life tied to links Golf

Feiner, who became a real estate agent for Shorewest Realtors in March 2017, was invited to join the Tri-Course committee in 2014 as a representative of Johnson Park, and was told a few years ago that he would likely be the next to lead the tournament.

“Jim asked me if I would be interested in continuing on the committee as tournament director when he decided to step down,” said Feiner. “I said I would be happy to. In one of the subsequent meetings it was briefly discussed and everyone agreed with the plan.

“With experience as a director at the Junior Masters and years of tournament management as a club professional, I think they were aware of my knowledge and that no one else asked to take on that role.”

It was a year long enough to take on the role, considering that this year’s Tri-Course was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. But the tournament under the North went smoothly and Feiner and the rest of the committee – Mike Greb, Greg Romano, Tim Monfeli, Roger Hoff, Paul Zarek, Gary Goodsell, Joe O’Brien – have no plans to make significant changes. Next year.

“I think the tournament is going in a really positive direction,” said Feiner.

In addition to his new role as president, he also has a new designation on the golf course – amateur.

Two years after resigning as a professional chief at Johnson Park, he finally obtained his amateur status.
