I am the creator of and main contributor to Golf On Long Island. I feature a terribly inconsistent swing that makes me consider retirement at least once during each round, often early in the back nine. Typically I hit a great shot on 17 or 18 and I'm back on board.
I enjoy writing, researching history and taking pictures, and love Long Island and all its resources. With this site, I get to do all of those things, and hope that they meld together to create a fun, informative and appealing Internet destination for Long Island's public golfers.
CONTRIBUTORS
Rob Dimino
Rob is an important contributor, as his love of the game and photographic golf memory make him a great asset to the site. He has the freakish ability to recall, in detail, nearly every hole on every course he's played, as well as how he and his playing partners fared. He has long been the second set of eyes and ears for Golf On Long Island, especially over the winter, when most Island golfers have already buried their clubs in the closet. Rob has been known to brave the fierce ocean breezes in the heart of winter if it means squeezing in 18 holes at Lido.
Anthony Dimino
Like his brother, Anthony brings to the site some tremendous golf-hole recall, and his work-related travel around the Island allows him to pitch in some occasional photos and updates on course renovations. Anthony is a one-time long-drive winner at Crab Meadow and the Dimino brothers are frequent contenders in the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Shootout at Mill Pond.
Matt Krantweiss
"Kranny" has been golfing around Nassau County since he was a teenager, developing his technically sound swing at Valley Stream South High under the tutelage of Jack Simes and Chris Bottjer. Matt is intimately familiar with the courses at Bethpage, hosted a pre-wedding round at The Woodmere Club and a 40th birthday scramble at Harbor Links. His family's annual summer trip out to Shelter Island often includes a round or two at Goat Hill.
Rob Toffolo
GOLI's newest contributor, Toffolo specializes in coverage of Eisenhower Park, where he plays most frequently and chats often with course staff. Rob has been actively following the current and planned hole renovations at Eisenhower Red.
