David Fels
Director of Lakeside Country Club
I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1965. My family and I lived in many different cities during my childhood. Ultimately, we settled in Vicksburg, Mississippi. I attended high school in Vicksburg and upon graduation I moved to Monroe Louisiana and attended Northeast Louisiana University on a Golf Scholarship.

After attending Northeast Louisiana University for two years, the school ultimately decided to end the golf program. At that point I immediately enlisted in the U. S. Army. I was assigned as a Driver/Gunnar on Bradley Fighting Vehicles and then transferred to M1A1 Abrams Tanks for the remainder of my enlistment. Soon after the army, I completed my education at Mississippi State University and graduated with a Professional Golf Management degree. During my years at Mississippi State University, I met and married my wife, Paula. Paula and I have been married 29 years and have two amazing daughters. Lauren, our oldest, is an elementary school teacher in Salt Lake City, Utah. Sarah our youngest is a Junior at N.C. State University. They are both doing great, and we are very proud parents. Upon my graduation from Mississippi State University, I worked towards my PGA membership for three years and I have now been a PGA member for 27 years. I have been on the staff here at Lakeside Country Club.
