My name is Lucas Rachkowski. I am a young, passionate professional looking to create a lasting and meaningful career in the golf industry.  I was born and raised in Kelowna, BC and moved to Calgary, AB in 2025 to both grow my career in the golf industry, and live with my beautiful girlfriend, Kelly.

I got my first job volunteering at a small driving range in 2014 at the age of 11. I would continue to work, practice, and learn about the game of golf there for 8 years. I picked up a second job washing carts at Kelowna Spring Golf Club from the age of 14 until 16. After some years of schooling and other part-time jobs, I became a club attendant at Harvest Golf Club in 2021. By the end of my 4 years at The Harvest, I worked my way into becoming an Apprentice Professional and was more determined than ever to pursue a career in golf. I am set to start my first year at Priddis Greens G&CC in 2025 as an Apprentice Professional.
