EXPERIENCE

2022-2024-

FREELANCE COACHING- VARIOUS TOURS

In 2022 I was took a short game coaching position with a challenge tour player being there full time coach which lasted the first four events before we both agreed it was more financially detrimental for him to have a full time coach and also would work better for myself to gain more clients on tours to start coaching instead of just the 1 person! Between 2022 and mid way through the season of 2024 I coached 15 challenge tour players and 7 clutch/ mini tour players along with multiple local pga regional players. This taught me time management and organisation skills and also taught me how to go out and advertise myself to get my own business.

ACTIVITIES

Having turned Professional as a golfer I have balanced the demands of a being a professional golfer with the requirements and demands of a job.

I have excelled in all my roles, gradually developing my skill set to ensure that I could step in and support my previous employer in any of the key roles.

I am highly experienced in dealing with customers and managing a team of staff, whilst taking pride in the fact that I was able to deal with complaints effectively, and resolve the majority of issues or at least satisfy the customer that we had acknowledged their concerns.

I am used to working to deadlines and can adapt effectively to new challenges.  I am reliable and will always go beyond the expected.
