About the Candidate

George Tanner

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

As a recent BA (Hons) Professional Golf graduate from the University of

the Highlands and Islands and a current PGA Member working toward full

qualification, I am committed to developing a long-term career within the

golf industry. I have completed my Level 2 PGA Qualification and most

recently worked as a full-time coach at Winchester Golf Academy,

delivering high-quality coaching to golfers of all ages and abilities.

My passion for the industry extends beyond playing and coaching. I am

dedicated to providing exceptional service, understanding the

operational and hospitality elements of the golf sector, and continually

expanding my professional knowledge. I have completed three

internships at leading facilities—the Buckinghamshire Golf Club, the

London Club, and the Yellowstone Club in the United States. These

experiences have given me a strong foundation in premium club

operations, member engagement, event delivery, and day-to-day service

standards.

I am now seeking a role within the golf industry where I can apply my

education, coaching experience, and international operational

background to support a forward-thinking organisation in achieving its

goals.
