PAM KUONG
Pamela Kuong is a Boston native, and the city has served her well. While attending Wellesley High School she swam under Coach Bernal, and after graduating from Ohio Wesleyan University she returned to Boston and became a coach at Bernal’s Gator Swim Club, Wellesley High School Girls Swim Team, and the Wellesley Swimming Association.
As an aspiring banker, Kuong was directed to golf as a good way to help level the playing field in a male dominated profession. The mix of discipline and mental training skills she had learned at Gator along with weekends and vacations spent golfing helped her become one of the greatest golfers in New England. As she started to compete in charity business tournaments, she would have to diplomatically select the team she would play for while a plethora of successful businessmen made a push to get Kuong on their team.
In 2008 and 2010 she won the Massachusetts Women’s Amateur and in 2011 she won the New England Women’s amateur. She has previously plated in five US Senior Mid-Ams and Two US Senior Ams. In 2012 she was the Women’s Golf Association of Massachusetts Player of the Year. She is currently a Senior Vice President and Senior Client Manager of Commercial Banking at Bank of America, and another incredibly successful alumni of Bernal’s Gator Swim Club.
