The “Olde Pro” is a Millwood Classic H By Leonard Shapiro
is business card reads “Golf Lessons with the Olde Pro,” because Eddie Cassidy says he’s an “old school” kind of guy, an experienced teacher many of his students believe is exactly what they’re seeking when searching for an instructor who can help improve their games.
“Everyone is an individual,” Cassidy said. “And anyone can hit a golf club. I’ll give them a club and tell them to go hit it, and then I tell them ‘I’m going to teach you how to swing this club. And if you swing it properly, it’s amazing, but more times than not, the club actually gets in the way of the ball.’”

Cassidy’s words of wisdom are mostly heard these days at Millwood Country Club, a 9-hole gem that’s been around since 1924 and located about 15 miles east
