Nels Stromborg: Founder-Chairman- Visionary
Very few golfers have had the impact on this amazing game like Nels David Stromborg. The National was born from his love of the game, and conceived on the back of a Cog Hill bar napkin. He asked the simplest question…..”Why not us?” He is a man who has impacted the world of golf with the full force of a hurricane, and made all of us better for the effort. A world leader, a great adventurer, and a deep lover of golf, Stromborg National owes everything to this man. Winner of a single major at Whistling Straits, at the astonishing age of 49, Nels Stromborg is one of the finest champions The National has ever had.
Adam Carpenter: Playboy - Head-case - Goodwill Ambassador
Adam Carpenter is a man of many talents. What those truly are, not many know. Will he shoot in the 80’s or the 100’s? Nobody knows, including you. Adam is an early member of The National, and is the lifeblood of our social fabric. Adam is our resident wine taster, and his bar tab alone helped build a large portion of our practice facility.
Hunter Bradford: Meat Connoisseur - Slum Lord - Gentleman
Hunter Bradford is a man of the people. While he sometimes struggles on the golf course, he is world class at smoking any kind of protein on this planet. Nobody dresses better on a golf course than our pirate friend from Chicago. Hunter runs both an audio empire, and controls vast segments of Kansas City slum housing market. Never afraid to make a buck, or have an Old Fashioned, Hunter is a gentleman to his core.
Jon Wayman: Fitness Guru - Artist -Bachelor - Champion
When Jon isn’t pounding golf balls on the range of Stromborg National, you can expect to find him in our gym getting ready for his weekend of Tinder dates. Jon is the globally renowned designer and artist, and the genius behind the Stromborg National Logo (which is on all our gear in the pro-shop.) Like Daniel Brock, Jon is a multi winner of The Gorilla. Unlike Daniel Brock, Jon has won multiple majors including Ireland and Kiawah Island.
Daniel Brock: Firestarter -Champion
Daniel Brock has been a member at Stromborg National from its inception. Controversy loves Daniel Brock. Sadly, he is the only founding member who has been suspended on multiple occasions. Whilst he attempted a failed Coup D’etat, and served his time for such a wicked crime, it was a spitting incident at Waterville GC that has perhaps been his most controversial moment. As a multiple winner of The Stromborg National International Gorilla tournament, he tragically has never won a major. Daniel is a genius spread sheet builder and is on Stromborg National’s History committee.
Matt Davis: Artist - Lover - Golfer
Matt Davis is an award winning photoshop genius, lover, and golf savant. He is a globally recognized master of the photoshop arts, having studied at Juilliard where he is still an artist in residence. As an early member of Stromborg National, he has blessed the halls of the club with some of his finest works of art this world has ever seen. In Ireland in 2023, during The Stromborg National International Gorilla Tournament he delivered an MVP performance forever known as the Ballyhoo in Ballybunion.
Greg Altieri: Bud Light Man - Giants Fan - Degenerate Gambler - Greg&Billy Joel Fun Foundation Founder
Don’t judge a book by the cover….unless we are talking about Greg Altieri. In the history of Stromborg National, nobody, and we mean nobody, has won less than Greg Altieri. A man who plays golf twice a year, which only happens after being dragged by his hair from the nearest OTB, Greg has a text book swing. Frankly, nobody knows which textbook. His perfect swing has never stopped him from missing 11 consecutive cuts. Need help with the horses? Try someone else. Greg’s love of Billy Joel has no limits and caused him to start the Greg and Billy Fun Foundation.
Greg’s Bud Light expenditure paid for the bathroom remodel at The National, and so for that, we are thankful.
Janice Stromborg: Special Assistant To The Chairman
Janice Stromborg must be included on this page, or Stromborg National will take a huge financial hit. Having said that, she is the Special Assistant to the Chairman. She is also in charge of the newly formed social committee. She is a world class chef, and interior decorator. Plus she found The National’s dog Theo….so for that we owe her a huge thanks.
Ben Crowder: Golfer - Curious George - New Guy
Have you ever met someone who never stops asking questions? That is new guy Ben Crowder. During the 2024 Ireland excursion, Ben asked our bus driver “What does it cost to keep a cow like that?” Is that any good? Ben’s game sure is. An assassin in the game of Scotch, and one of The National’s better players: Ben is the newest guy. In early 2021, after an epic golf trip to St Louis, Ben secured a place at The National when he suggested the name for this illustrious club.
