R SUCCESS - cy with the Riviera Country Club
Anderson
While they may not make Golf Magazine ’ s Top 100 , there ’ s something about playing on ‘ The Riv ’ that takes the pretention out of the sport and rolls out the red carpet for those ready to spend the day on the greens .
Meet the Meyers Family As the fourth generation to take the helm , PGA Professional and general manager Ryan B . Meyers is proud of the club ’ s 68-year history that began with his great grandfather Franklin Meyers in 1953 .
Family portraits of the Meyers men adorn the wall of his office , two Hall of Fame inductees among them . Golf is in their blood , and
Ryan , a PGA Professional , knew one day he would follow in their footsteps .
“ I ’ ve been in golf my whole life . I was a professional at San Jose Country Club in Jacksonville and also at World Golf Village . I was the one on the
Ryan B . Myers path to take over and that ’ s what we decided as a family ,” he said modestly .
Since then , Ryan has spent the past eight years learning from his father , Eric , who has led since 1975 .
“ It ’ s pretty easy because he ’ s worked hard for a long time and made this job – I shouldn ’ t say easy – but a lot of stress is taken off .
