La Moye Golf Club

St Brelade, Jersey

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the PGA Professional / Assistant Professional position at La Moye. I am an enrolled Trainee PGA Professional (British PGA membership number 0161974), with a professional playing golf career spanning nearly three decades competing successfully in international amateur tournaments and two professional tours including two national open victories and a dedicated focus in recent years on elite coaching and performance development. I am confident that my ability will make a valuable contribution to your team.

I have spent over 15 years owning and running a high-performance academy managing and coaching elite junior golfers throughout Southeast Asia, helping many of them achieve international and national-level success, including Ye Wo-cheng, who at 12 years became the youngest player ever to compete in a European Tour event at the 2013 Volvo China Open. I served as a Nike Golf NG360 Functional Performance Specialist and Swoosh staff member during this period.

Alongside my coaching I have managed operational sides of golf facilities with a focus on shop standards, retail, competitions, demo days and TrackMan club-fitting, most substantially as Golf Manager through the pre-opening and launch of The Cut Golf Club in Perth, Western Australia.

Junior and ladies programmes are the work I know best and enjoy most. I would equally welcome contributing across retail, competitions and front-of-house, and to the wider member experience that La Moye is known for.

I am fully prepared to relocate to Jersey for the right opportunity. Thank you for considering my application. I would be delighted to discuss how my background and skills can support the continued success of La Moye, and I am available to talk by phone at short notice.

Kindest regards

David Watson
