Rashad Wilson is the PGA pro at Pine Oaks Golf Course, Warner Robins AFB, Warner Robins, GA.

Wilson received a scholarship to play golf at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La. Wilson transferred after three years to Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. He graduated with a degree in chemistry but decided to change direction.

“I had an epiphany that life is too short,” Wilson says, “and I realized golf was what made me happy.”

Wilson is an over-achiever. After earning his degree in chemistry, he earned the Certified Professional designation from the PGA of America (which includes teaching and coaching, general management, player development, and golf operations) and a Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) Class A qualification.

He takes breaks from managing the course by doing what he enjoys most, teaching golf. Call him to set up an appointment. Both he and your game will thank you.
