Personal summary

I am very polite, showing empathy and compassion to everyone I come into  contact with, this helps with my communication and positivity. I am organised and I prepare well for tasks, exams, presentations and lessons. Therefore I’m well suited to working in an environment that involves interacting with other people in a friendly and professional manner. I always work hard and ensure I am punctual. I am patient and tolerant,  so I can work through challenges.

Experience

I have carried out two  weeks of work experience at Chippenham golf club in 2023 and 2025. This involved working in the  pro shop, working on the range and fitting bay as well as greenkeeping.

I have also volunteered in helping juniors gain their handicaps by guiding them round the course and marking scorecards for them.

Whenever I have the opportunity I respond to requests for volunteers to help at Chippenham golf club for example  helping to maintain the golf course.

My course at Hartpury has improved my experience in coaching through numerous sessions where we have taught  local school students golf skills.

Skills

I have basic skills of numeracy, literacy, reading, writing, ICT skills, and communication and listening. I am also organised and  I am always on time  and prepared. Communication is a strong skill of mine, improved  due to my junior captaincy at Chippenham Golf Club  for 2025,  which helps with the social aspect to the club . Problem solving is also something I consider myself good at, so I can take charge and think of appropriate solutions to problems on the spot, but I will ask for help when I need it.

 

I have had a handicap for 7 years. I have been single figures for 4 years and my current handicap is 3.0.  My handicap comes solely from playing in competitions. I also enjoy practicing to improve, spending hours working on  my short game and full swing.
