Chris Smith is in his 11th season at Montcalm and responsible for overseeing the grounds of the award-winning 6,829 yard Montcalm Golf Club, one of New England’s premier golf experiences which spans 300 plus acres. Chris and his team tend to the 28 acres of fairways, four acres in greens and four acres of tee boxes as well as a hill side, full range practice facility offering panoramic mountain views.

Introduced to golf at a young age by his grandfather, Chris has been around the game his entire life and became enamored with turf management more than 20 years ago, working at Wentworth Golf Course in Jackson NH.

There is seldom a day when Chris is not greeted by some form of wildlife having spotted moose, black bear, bobcats, and lynx who roam Montcalm’s wooded areas as well as a variety of birds, partridges, red-tail hawks, grouse and turkeys who make themselves at home along the property.

Chris and his wife Heather reside in Hanover with their four children.

Colin Davis, PGA
Head Golf Professional

Originally from Fort Collins, Colorado, Colin Davis found his passion for golf at a young age when his father introduced him to the local driving range. That same range later became the starting point of his career in the golf industry, where he secured his first job working under a PGA teaching professional. What began as a childhood interest has since evolved into a lifelong dedication to the game and its growth.

Colin is a Class A PGA Member, having earned his certification through the PGA Professional Golf Management Program at Florida Gulf Coast University. This nationally recognized program provided him the opportunity to gain invaluable experience at prestigious clubs including Royal Poinciana in Naples, FL (Platinum Club of America); Mountain Brook Club in Birmingham, AL; Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club in Vero Beach, FL; and now Montcalm Golf Club.

With a dual background in Sports Medicine from Colorado State University, Colin emphasizes safe and efficient swing mechanics tailored to the individual, not a one-size-fits-all model. His instruction style is rooted in understanding body mechanics to optimize performance and prevent injury. Over the past few years, he has taught hundreds of junior and adult clients.

Specializing in instruction, operations, and customer service, Colin is passionate about making golf more approachable and enjoyable for players of all ages and skill levels. His commitment to personal growth and student success is reflected in every lesson, every round, and every interaction.
