Player Spotlight: Matt Mattare

Name: Matt Mattare

Nickname(s): Mattare

Handicap: +3.6

Description: His life expectancy lands somewhere in "mid-to-early 40's" due in large part to the toll Notre Dame Football has taken on him over the years.

Golf Game Description: Matt is our lone resident nationally ranked amateur in the Battle Between the Pines, which means he’s giving a shit ton of shots away all week (take your handicap, now add 4, yeah, you are getting that many shots!). That being said, Matt’s swing is smoother than my nuts after I take Tim’s Gillette Max to them.

Greatest Moment in Golf: Was it making the final 8 at the 2012 Mid-Amateur? The 64 in the second round of the Met-Am (setting the record for lowest round in 100+ year history of the tournament)? No. It was making a 1 man eagle on 13 against the Fearsome Foursome to win the Jim Flannery championship in 2011 win a playoff (Brett carried Matt’s beer, Tim pulled out the flag, and Charlie drove the cart--great job again boys!).

Little Known Fact: Matt, while being the most impressive player on this trip on paper, has won zero net events. ZERO! The Varsity quotes Kevin Nash when listening to Mattare’s endless barbs leading up to the BBTP: “Don’t just sing it, BRING IT!”
