Meet Casey Rotella – Baruzzini
My Dad and I are happy to be joining Eastern Golf TV this season. Since I’m sure most of you are familiar with my Dad’s work I thought I’d give you all a quick introduction to the brains behind the madness 
Name: Casey (Rotella) Baruzzini
Education: University of Notre Dame, BA History (European)
Golf Experience: Won VA State Championship for Juniors, Charlottesville City (3x), and various other mid-Atlantic Junior tournaments, MVP for the Nike USA Team vs. Ireland, played collegeiate golf at the University of Notre Dame (though I fought through a wrist injury three of those four years)
Pets: the most lovable 30lb cat in the world John Winston Lennon
Favorite Things: My faith, My husband, children, and family (of course), Notre Dame, cats, The Beatles, learning languages (especially German and Italian), all ages of European history, but mostly modern Germany, antiquing, and browsing used book stores
Favorite Movies: La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful), if you haven’t seen it YOU MUST!, Goodbye Lenin, The Mission, Spanglish, Sleepless in Seattle, My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Favorite Books : Jane Eyre, Little Women, anything by James Herriot, The Old Man and the Sea, The Everlasting Man, the Father Brown series, C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy
What I Can Bring to the “Roundtable”: experience as a junior golfer at the national level, knowledge of the college golf world, persistance in the game despite injury, the relationships between family and education and golf, and the good fortune of growing up in and around my father, Dr. Robert Rotella, and the world of sports
Random Fun Fact: In seventh grade I came up with the original title for my Dad’s work of “Golf ,the Brain Game,” but for some reason the publishers decided “Golf is Not a Game of Perfect” would sell more copies. Who knew?
