Chuck Courtney's heroics on the course made him a star. Two National Junior Championships, PGA Tour Pro, winner of two Tour events, San Diego State Hall of Fame, Pebble Beach Walk of Fame, and Head Professional at one of the nation's top private clubs for 23 years.
But it is Chuck's lifelong service as a teacher and mentor that makes him a legend.
In 2012 David Brooks, History Chair at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, made known his discovery of Chuck Courtney's quiet but extensive contributions to youth education.
