Greensboro, Ga. — Reynolds Plantation Golf Operations is pleased to welcome Wes Forester to the Reynolds Plantation golf staff, as the new Head Professional at the Plantation Course.
Wes has been a PGA Member since June 2001 and is a graduate of Elon University in North Carolina. He began his golf career at Fiddlers’ Elbow in Far Hills, New Jersey in 1993. Between 1993 and 2001, Wes was an assistant golf professional at several private clubs in the Northeast before becoming the head golf professional at The Members Club at Four Streams in Maryland in 2002.
"Wes is a skilled golf professional with excellent teaching skills. Golfers at Reynolds Plantation will benefit from his experience with private member clubs," said Bob Mauragas, Vice President of Golf Operations.
Throughout his fifteen years of experience, Wes has had the opportunity to work under the mentorship of two GOLF Magazine TOP 100 Teachers, David Glenz & Steve Bosdosh. Wes has over ten years of professional teaching experience with all levels of players, including juniors, ladies, beginners and low handicappers.
"I am so excited to join the Reynolds Plantation team, and look forward to meeting all of our members and my new colleagues. The Plantation Course is a challenging Bob Cupp design, and one I look forward to learning," stated Wes.
Wes and his wife Patsy and two sons, Ethan (6) and Luke (3), reside in Watkinsville.
About Reynolds Plantation
Named the "Best of the Best" Golf Community by The Robb Report, Reynolds Plantation, located between Atlanta and Augusta, is a 10,000-acre golf and lake community with 80 miles of shoreline on beautiful Lake Oconee, one of the largest lakes in the southeast. Reynolds Plantation features 81 holes of championship golf from designers Jack Nicklaus, Bob Cupp, Tom Fazio, and Rees Jones, with a fifth course, designed by Golf Digest "Architect of the Year" Jim Engh, to open for member play in 2007. In addition to its championship golf, Reynolds Plantation features award-winning dining, swimming pools, tennis courts, pedestrian walking trails, three full-service marinas and a new lakefront Lake Club and tennis complex. Golf Magazine chose Reynolds Plantation as the site of the 2004 Golf Dream House, their first-ever attempt to build "the ultimate home for a golfer", and Golf Digest has cemented that endorsement with their first-ever such home, slated to open in 2007. Many residents’ introduction to the community is a gracious one courtesy of The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation, a 251-room lakefront resort and spa.
