Joshua Keller

Joshua Keller has been teaching for the past five years. He began pursuing his PGA Associate Membership after he graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2019. Josh has worked his way up through the industry after beginning his golf career in East Tennessee, while working his first job as a cart guy at Sevierville Golf Club. Throughout college, he worked at a couple facilities as a Pro Shop Attendant. These experiences helped equip Josh to pursue the teaching route post-graduation in 2019. He was the second assistant pro at Riverside Golf Links from 2020-2021, and the first assistant pro there from 2021-2022.

Josh has a passion for helping others improve their golf game.

After a lesson and a fitting, I’d recommend GolfRX and Josh to anyone and everyone. His teaching style is excellent, understanding exactly where I wanted to go and gave me a clear path there. The clubs I got are some of my favorites as well!!

I’m new to golf and scheduled a 1:1, 45-min session to learn basics and build foundation for my grip, stance and swing. The teaching and tips were incredibly clear and helpful and by the end I felt a million times better about my swing and even had a handful of really solid shots. I plan to go back after hitting the range and working on some of the drills I was shown to improve further and transition from
irons to driver

Josh was super helpful developing a swing for my 15 year old son. He enjoyed the lesson and gave us some exercises to work on at home. We’ll be back!

These guys are great to work with. They did an iron fitting as well as some regrips over the last 2 seasons. I have sent multiple people their way and everyone has had the same, great experience. If you plan to get fitted for any new clubs or repairs done I would highly recommend these guys.

Came in and saw Josh for a driver fitting. Super awesome experience! Josh was able to help dial in a couple of drivers and ultimately find the one that worked best for me. I would 100% recommend coming in to get anything you need. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you Josh for helping me out today!!

I Needed my clubs re-gripped and they said they could do it the same day! 3 hours later they were done. Very friendly service. Very happy to support local businesses over a big box.

Went in today for an iron fitting with Ryan. Fantastic experience. After just a few minutes Ryan made a shaft adjustment which made a world of difference. Great people, relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful.

Wound up buying a new set or Cobra Dark speed irons with KBS 65g, senior flex graphite shafts and couldn't be happier. A little added distance but tighter dispersion. Thanks Ryan

My experience was what I was expected. There was no hurry, got one on one fitting with explanation to my questions about the loft and lie for each club and gapping for correct club selection. Overall, had a great experience for getting correctly fitted. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

Awesome local guys doing what the big stores are trying to do and doing it better. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to go back again.

Had the best experience getting fit for a new set of irons. This is the place you want to go. There is no push of a certain set versus another. Its strictly analytical of your swing and what numbers it produces. I was able to swing every brand and every model just to find what worked with me the best. I am already booking my next fitting for a driver. Call in and ask questions- they answer all your concerns. 10/10 experience.

Had a lesson with Josh and he was able to diagnose my issues and give me repeatable simple advice to take straight to the golf course. My ball striking and pitching immediately improved with a few small changes. Great experience learning from him.
