Lippold Named Salish Cliffs Assistant Golf Professional: Jacob Lippold, a 29-year-old from nearby Sequim, Wash, has been named assistant golf professional at Salish Cliffs Golf Club.
Previously, the Western Washington University graduate worked at The Cedars at Dungeness in Sequim where he went from performing outside services work to assistant pro.
“I love the golf business and everything has worked out great for me so far,” said Lippold, who works under Head Professional David Kass and First Assistant Chris Koch, who is also a local and hails from Lacey, Wash. “I feel extremely fortunate to be working at a top-notch golf facility like Salish Cliffs right from the very beginning.”
