"The camaraderie in the game of golf is priceless," Phil Fanning remarked during an interview with his golfing family held recently at the Swan Lake Golf & Country Club near Swan Lake.
Athletics and athletic ability have played a large part in the lives of this Youngsville family who have made their mark not only in golf but in soccer, basketball, softball, cheer leading, baseball and football.
Fifty-two year-old Phil Fanning is a 1975 graduate of Liberty Central High School where he competed four years in baseball, football and two years of basketball. He went on to Cortland State and graduated in 1980 with a Physical Education degree and completed his Masters degree in Elementary Education from New Paltz State.
Phil is completing his 30th year teaching physical education at Liberty Central High School where he has coached varsity baseball, varsity football, varsity golf, varsity girls basketball, modified baseball and modified football. At the present time he is assisting with varsity baseball and modified football.
Amazingly enough Phil did not play any golf in high school and in his second year of college at Cortland his roommate, David Solomon, a scratch golfer on the college team, encouraged Fanning to come out on the golf course with him and learn the sport.
Solomon gave Phil many golf tips and kept encouraging him to learn more about the sport.
Fanning continued his golf education with lessons from Professional Bob Menges and in 1981 he met Andy Taggart and began playing recreation softball and golf with Andy almost on a daily basis.
Fanning and Taggart have been golf partners for the past 25-years in the Tuesday Men's league at the Swan Lake Golf & Country Club. This is the only league Phil plays in but enjoys recreational golf with his family.
Phil has helped with coaching several years in the Menges summer golf camps. He plays in a half dozen charity golf tournaments a year.
Fanning maintains a 13 handicap for 18 holes of golf.
Fifty-one year-old Rosemary Fanning took up the game of golf six years ago, took group lessons from the Matt Kleiner School of Golf and instructor Kevin Kurcoba and has continued lessons with Professional Bob Menges.
A 1977 graduate of Jeffersonville-Youngsville Central School Rosemary did not compete in any sport but instead was a cheerleader four years. She definitely has an athletic background being raised in the sports-active Bernhardt family.
Rosemary following high school attended and graduated from Orange County Community College with a nursing degree and has been employed the past 31 years at what is now called the Catskill Regional Medical Center where she presently works in the Operating Room.
She comments about her "love of the game" and continues with lessons from Professional Bob Menges.
Rosemary competes in the Swan Lake Golf & Country Club Thursday Ladies league with partner Amie Bryztwa and plays to about a 20 plus handicap.
Twenty-seven year-old Beth Fanning graduated from Jeffersonville-Youngsville Central School in 2000 and from Elmira State College in 2004 with a degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice and is presently working on her Masters degree.
At Jeff-Youngsville Beth was active four years in basketball, soccer and softball. At the present time she is a member of the championship Charlie's Angels softball team.
During the summer of 2007 Beth was attracted to the game of golf and started taking lessons from Professional Bob Menges. She finds the game "challenging."
Beth is employed as a counselor the past three years with the New York State Department of Corrections at Sullivan Correctional.
She is a member of the Swan Lake Golf & Country Club Thursday Ladies league with partner Cathy Menges and maintains a 20 plus handicap.
Twenty-one year-old Kaitlyn Fanning is a 2006 graduate of Sullivan West Central School and will graduate with a teaching degree in English this month from Siena College. She will continue her education pursuing a career in law or journalism.
At Sullivan West Kaitlyn played four years of basketball, four years of soccer, one year of softball and three years of varsity golf,
She initially studied the game of golf at the Steve Eisenberg School of Golf under Professional Bob Menges and has continued lessons from Menges. "She is very athletic and took easily to the game of golf," Menges noted.
At Sullivan West Kaitlyn played first and second golfer and plays to a bogey handicap.
During the summer months she works as a Clubhouse Assistant at the Swan Lake Golf & Country Club.
Twenty-five year-old Jonathon Fanning took up the game of golf during the past two years but was a three sports (soccer, basketball and baseball) athlete at Sullivan West.
Jonathon graduated from Sullivan West in 2002 and is a 2007 graduate from St. Bonaventure University at Olean majoring in Business.
He played no sports in college and presently is employed by Bank of America in Charlotte, North Carolina.
A family that plays together stays together and when you get to know the Fanning family this theme is very evident.
