OBJECTIVE

I turned professional in 2022 and began my PGA journey at Close House, where I spent the first two years of my degree developing my coaching skills and deepening my knowledge of the game. I’ve played golf since I was six years old and have been actively involved in county golf, as well as competing in international events as an amateur—experiences that shaped my understanding of high-level performance and the dedication the sport requires. In July 2024, I joined N1 Golf, continuing my commitment to helping golfers of all levels improve and enjoy their time on the course.

CLOSE HOUSE GOLF CLUB PGA ASSISTANT PROFESSIONAL
18/07/2022-31/6/2024

After my first year at Close House, I decided that the PGA professional route is what I wanted to go down. Through showing my desire to learn and develop my skills in my first year Close House offered me a space to start my training.
This allowed me to be more included and develop my understanding of running or a pro shop/ golf operations teams. In my role I was responsible for managing the tee sheet, ordering stock for the shop along with banking reports for each day. Also tasked with making sure golf operations ran smoothly so guest and members experiences could run smoothly.
I was also in charge of multiple corporate golf days/ events. This included meeting all the players, telling them the format of the day and answering any questions that might pop up during the day. After the golf was finished, I was in charge of scoring and announcing the results. This giving me the chance to learn how to use golf genius and VPAR software effectively.
Through starting my PGA this also gave me the opportunity to start to teach golf. I sat in lessons with Qualified PGA professionals and also was involved with corporate get into golf session which helped me develop my teaching skills. I also observed some custom fitting session to learn the process and develop my understanding. Furthering on from this dealt with ordering customers clubs and the whole process until the customer received their clubs.
I developed my skills in the workshop, re-gripping, loft and lie adjustments, lengthening/ shortening clubs.
In my time at Close House, I was lucky enough to work during a professional tournament, The International series England. During this I observed the planning and running of an event, which has helped my understanding of the extent of planning into an event like this.
Close House also gave opportunities to go to golf brands headquarters and learn. In 2024 I was lucky enough to visit ping and tour their factory and fitting center, developing my understanding of the industry.

Also, in my time at Close House I became good friends with ex world number 1 golfer Lee Westwood. By either watching him practice or playing 9 holes with him taught me endless amounts about the game which I take into my coaching every day. With Lee came his coach at the time Pete Cowan who I was also lucky enough to chat about the golf swing with.

Even though my time at Close House was amazing I was ready to move into a role where my passion, teaching golf, was more of a priority. In 2024 I was offered the chance to work for elite golf academies as a full-time golf coach.
I started with zero clients and over the past year have developed my teaching skills to the point where I now have a client base of over 270 people. I also run weekly Junior sessions on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings which sees over 50 juniors through the range doors every week. Alongside the junior sessions I do a ladies get into golf on a Thursday morning. These get into golf initiatives have seen golfers move from group sessions into individual 1-1 lessons. I believe every golfer is unique. There is no single “perfect” swing—only the one that works best for you. My coaching style is built around adapting to a clients play style, learning preferences, and ability level. Whether a complete beginner or an aspiring competitor, I tailor every session to help you progress confidently and consistently.
