Br. Pio started playing golf more than 15 years ago, and has been self-taught in the sport. A basketball player in his youth, he says that his background in that sport helped to lead him to golf as an adult.
He sees his monastic life as being similar to his motto for golf: "Balance, Tempo, Rhythm." He says that the three elements are essential in monastic life and make for a good rule in golf as well.
He enjoys working with the student-athletes on both Saint Vincent teams.
