I covered high schools, the Everblades' first season, the Miami Dolphins, the start of Florida Gulf Coast University athletics, and professional golf tournaments in both Naples and elsewhere in the state. I was promoted to assistant sports editor in October 1999, and remained mainly a writer, covering high schools, FGCU, the Dolphins and professional golf tournaments. I was promoted to sports editor in August 2004, and still cover local golf. During my time at the Daily News, I've been fortunate enough to cover three Super Bowls (in Houston, New Orleans and Atlanta) and three Masters. Before coming to Naples, I worked at The Southern Illinoisan, a daily newspaper in Carbondale, Ill., from 1987-1997. That's also where I went to college. en-ushttp://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/18/2013-winged-foot-profile-cameron-maguire/2013 Winged Foot profile: Cameron MaguireSat, 18 May 2013 18:38:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/18/2013-winged-foot-profile-cameron-maguire/http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/17/golf-local-residents-remember-ken-venturi-for/Golf: Local residents remember Ken Venturi for his charity, graciousnessSat, 18 May 2013 03:34:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/17/golf-local-residents-remember-ken-venturi-for/http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/17/golf-former-marco-island-resident-ken-venturi-dies/Golf: Former Marco Island resident Ken Venturi diesFri, 17 May 2013 22:47:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/17/golf-former-marco-island-resident-ken-venturi-dies/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/16/mens-golf-fgcu-freshman-edward-figueroa-ready/Men's golf: FGCU freshman Edward Figueroa ready for NCAA tournamentThu, 16 May 2013 10:00:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/16/mens-golf-fgcu-freshman-edward-figueroa-ready/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/14/local-golf-column-a-heartfelt-goodbye-to-mike/Local golf column: A heartfelt goodbye to Shootout volunteer chairman Mike O'KeefeTue, 14 May 2013 20:26:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/14/local-golf-column-a-heartfelt-goodbye-to-mike/http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/07/local-golf-column-royal-palms-neet-named-chapter/Local golf column: Royal Palm's Neet named Southwest Chapter PGA Professional of YearWed, 08 May 2013 01:01:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/07/local-golf-column-royal-palms-neet-named-chapter/http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/07/golf-ken-venturi-now-part-of-golf-immortality-of/Golf: Ken Venturi now part of 'golf immortality' with Hall of Fame inductionTue, 07 May 2013 08:30:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/07/golf-ken-venturi-now-part-of-golf-immortality-of/http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/07/mens-golf-st-john-neumann-grad-edward-figueroa/Men's golf: St. John Neumann grad Edward Figueroa of FGCU picked for NCAA tournamentTue, 07 May 2013 04:02:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/07/mens-golf-st-john-neumann-grad-edward-figueroa/http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/06/golf-naples-westerlund-figueroa-among-5-to-at-us/Golf: Naples' Westerlund, Figueroa among 5 to advance at U.S. Open qualiferMon, 06 May 2013 22:35:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/06/golf-naples-westerlund-figueroa-among-5-to-at-us/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/06/local-golf-renaissances-westerlund-leads-area-us-o/Local golf: Renaissance's Westerlund leads area U.S. Open qualifiers at The ForestMon, 06 May 2013 19:32:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/06/local-golf-renaissances-westerlund-leads-area-us-o/
