About Chip Schotz

At the tender age of 4 years, Chip began playing golf with his father, Jaeger Schotz, during visitation days at the Joliet Correctional Institution. Mr. Schotz was serving a 8 to 10 stretch for “a misunderstanding.” Chip learned to love golf, slapping a ball around the prison course, listening to his dad tell funny stories of holdups gone wrong.

Chip’s goal is simple: to have you harm fewer people with your golf game.

  • Chip Schotz has won tournaments across the globe: Moldova Links Championship, Antarctic Open, Snake Island of Palawan Invitational and victories in the Federated State of Micronesia, Kwajalein Atoll, Buncrana Island, and Cleveland.
  • Chip Chip is proud to be Golf Professional Emeritus at many CS partners:

Alcatraz Prison Golf Links
Chernobyl Country Club
Death Valley Golf Club

  • Joliet Correctional Academy of Golf and Penology
  • Chip's A-List students encompass Pablo Escobar (before the troubles), Jimmy Stalin (Josef Stalin’s nephew), The Bee Gees (except for one G), and a young Mil Phickelson.
  • Chip could spend his senior years collecting his CIA pension and paying off several paternity lawsuits, but Chip has a lifetime of great golf to share and no death threats from Japan or Quebec are going to stop him.
