Dru Bolen

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I started my career in a cart barn (The Tribute) and worked my way up to General Manager of multiple properties (Waterview and Buffalo Creek) in the DFW market. I also held a corporate support role while floating between the three properties in the metroplex. My wife Jaime is Canadian and we decided to make the move in 2019 to raise our kids in Canada. Calgary is where we wanted to be for logisitcal purposes, and we’re happy to finally be here. I managed Sirocco Golf Club in 2022 and have now returned to golf at Strathmore Golf Club for the 2025 season.
