Southworth Development announced today that Scott McArthur has been named Head Golf Professional at Creighton Farms.

Previously Scott, who has worked at Creighton Farms since 2008, was 1st Assistant Golf Pro.

Scott's vast knowledge of the private club industry and the Virginia region are impressive, and he is a Certified PGA Professional in both Instruction and General Management, a distinction held by less than 2% of PGA Professionals.

Scott began his golf career in 1987 as an Assistant Golf Professional at Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia. From there, he moved on to The Water's Edge Country Club at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia as the 1st Assistant prior to accepting a position as the 1st Assistant Golf Professional at the Salisbury CC in Midlothian, Virginia in 1994.

Since that time, Scott has held a number of positions including: Head Golf Professional at Lake Monticello GC in Palmyra, Virginia; Head Golf Professional at Tantallon CC in Ft. Washington, Maryland; 1st Assistant Golf Professional at Old Hickory GC in Woodbridge, Virginia; and most recently 1st Assistant Golf Professional at Creighton Farms.

Scott serves as a member of the PGA President's Council on Growing the Game. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia where he played lacrosse and earned a degree in Business Administration.

Scott and his wife Felice are residents of Washington D.C. and are expecting their first child in April.

Scott McArthur replaces Michael Vidal, who recently took the Director of Golf position at Willowbend, Mashpee, MA, another Southworth Development property.
