Vince
Palladino is the President of Palladino Honda, one of the most
popular automobile dealerships in the Greater Sudbury Area. But to
most people in
Sudbury
,
Vince is known as one of the best golfers this region has ever
produced. He won the prestigious Idylwylde Invitational for a record
6th time in 2011 and is expected to continue to challenge
for the top prize for many years to come.
Palladino was a gifted hockey player and golfer while
growing up in
Sudbury
.
However, it was his skill on the golf course that earned him a
scholarship to play on the
Ohio
State
University
golf team and would launch him into a time on the CPGA Professional
Tour as well as on some of the minor tours in the
United
States
.
Today, Vince is doing everything he can to encourage
young boys and girls to get involved in golf, not so that they can
get scholarships or play professional, but because of how the sport
prepares a person for life away from the course. “I use more of
what I learned from golf every day while running my car dealership
than from what I learned in school,” explained Vince when
passionately discussing the benefits of playing golf.
The four-part interview that follows contains numerous
examples of how the sport of golf can help develop skills, values
and principles that will last a lifetime and that will serve a
person well no matter where the road of life takes him/her.
There is absolutely no doubt that Vince Palladino is a
True Sport Champion as he constantly promotes the benefits of golf
to young people and as he strives to give back to the community in
his new role as the President of his family owned car dealership,
Palladino Honda.
The following True Sport Video presentation is
definitely worth watching.
