Player Spotlight: Zach Sacks


Name: Zach Sacks

Goes By: Sacks

Handicap: 0.0

Description: Zach works in finance, enjoys playing squash, gets a grilled cheese as an appetizer every time he eats lunch at Saucon, and has a line of credit at Baby Gap, which is where he purchases the vast majority of his shirts.

Description of Golf Game: At first blush, you'd think this slight, Wharton grad would be short off the tee and a smart, methodical player. He's exactly that only the complete opposite. Zach is the longest hitter on the trip, capable of making birdie on any hole of any course, and possess a game tailor made for team match play. He’s also capable of turning 72’s into 79’s in the blink of an eye due to a veritable
avalanche of brain farts.

Greatest Moment in Golf: He teamed with the Young Guns’ Pat Lyons to win the 2011 Saucon Valley Member-Member in convincing fashion. His title defense was thwarted by the fact that Pat decided he’d rather hit the snooze alarm than golf balls the morning the 2012 event started.

Little Known Fact: Zach is the youngest person on the trip and used as a unit of weight measurement on the Varsity. For example, Jeremy is 1.5 Zachs.
