ORLEANS–Horace Archer, the golf pro at the Orleans Country Club, did not take the unusual path to becoming a golf pro.

"I was brought up as an engineer and I worked for twenty-five years for IBM after which I decided I needed to continue to be doing something before I die. I decided I should go into golf."
