Announcing an Off Season "2 Lesson Special"

Because of the limited daylight and having enough favorable weather conditions the 2 lessons are scheduled back-to-back on the same day. Please plan accordingly for that block of time.

For more details click the “Book Now” box at the top right of this page to view lesson packages—there’s no commitment to open up lesson packages and look. Or click “Contact Rusty” to reach out directly. I’d love to help you enjoy the game and play your best - during this Off Season.

When looking for this specific booking type package: there are On Course and Private lessons - look under Private and you will find the Off Season "2 Lesson Special"

Bio: “I couldn’t break 100 until I was 14—three years later, I won the junior club championship - thanks to a great coach and a refusal to quit. That journey shaped everything I do as a coach today.”

Key point for students: "I don’t want my students to have to go through what I went through! It’s a beautiful game, but its a little easier if we learn the fundamentals the right way the first time ... or at least the second time.”

“I was fortunate enough to grow up in Lynchburg at a respected CC; played some high school golf and then a bit of college golf @ UR. When the college summer school was over … I was able to compete at various amateur events for several years: the Payton Memorial, the Fox-Puss, the Eastern Amateur and the VSGA Amateur & Open.”

Rusty’s previous professional golf experience includes owning and operating a nine-hole Par 3 and covered driving range as the General Manager, PGA Head Professional and Lead Instructor having taught over 8,000 private and group lessons. “I’ve spent most of my teaching career coaching new golfers of all ages and genders; my mission is to make the learning curve less frustrating and a lot more fun.”

Rusty has been a Class ‘A’ PGA Golf Professional for over 30 years and has earned a Life Member active status.
