Meet Our Pro
Joshua P. Barnes
Growing up on an Iowa farm, Josh learned the value of
hard work and patience. He uses those lessons every day; in golf, and in
life. River Valley has been his home course, as he learned the game playing
here as a kid. Josh’s interest in golf continued to influence him a great
deal throughout high school and college. He attended Mississippi State
University, where he received a Marketing degree with an emphasis in
Professional Golf Management. He went on to receive his class A PGA
certification in October of 2006. Now, back in Iowa, he looks forward to
spending time getting to know everyone at River Valley Golf Course.
Teaching Philosophy
Learning the fundamentals is the basis for any swing.
A golf swing is unique and should fit the individual. A golfer can only
find their swing when they are comfortable and relaxed. Both comfort
and relaxation are key elements in making a good, consistent swing through
the ball. I also believe that it is imperative for all students to set
goals. Goals allow students to work towards a specific achievement
and are a great way to monitor overall improvement.
Play your game..... Improve your score.
