Lost Plantation Golf Club, the Rincon city-owned municipal golf course, announced the hiring of Paul Johnson, PGA, as head golf professional, according to Seth Zeigler, the director of golf at Lost Plantation.

“We are excited to have Paul Johnson join our team,” Zeigler said. “Based on his outstanding record of accomplishments, we are confident that he will continue the growth the course has experienced and create a strong instructional program that will benefit the residents of Rincon.”

Johnson said he intends to initiate a first-class instructional program, especially junior golfers.

“I cannot express my excitement in coming to Lost Plantation,” he said.  “Seth Zeigler and his team have done a wonderful job building the course infrastructure and creating an atmosphere where people want to play golf here. I am looking to continue the club’s growth and offer additional benefits to the residents of Rincon and surrounding communities of Effingham County.”

Johnson brings more than 18 years of golf industry experience. Most recently, he spent over seven years at Lake Forest Yacht and Country Club in Daphne, Ala.
