Kevin Carter grew up loving golf, hoping to one day work in the industry but never expecting he’d own a golf course.
After four years as director of golf at The Quarry, Carter joined general manager Darren Stalteri and greenskeeper Keith Rasmus as a one-third owner. The trio bought out Peterborough businessman Don McPherson’s share.
Carter, 35, grew up in Ennismore and started playing golf at age 12 at Tamarac Golf and Country Club long before The Quarry opened in 2007 on Tara Road in Ennismore.
He took business at Fleming College and joined Kawartha Golf and Country Club as an assistant pro at age 19. He spent four years there before assuming the same role at Wolf Run Golf Club for five years serving as head professional in his final year. Carter joined The Quarry as director of golf in 2015.
“It’s been what I wanted to do since I was in high school,” Carter said.
