Niall Keogh

About the Candidate

Hard‑working golf enthusiast, currently completing my PGA training after a successful career as a chartered construction manager. After combining an elite amateur playing career, and recommencing coaching in golf since September 2025 as a trainee teaching professional, I am looking to add the excellent experience I have built so far with my own coaching, to elevate it within an organisation that is trying to build their business simultaneously.

 

With a background in professional construction management and customer service roles, I bring strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. I am currently enrolled in a PGA Foundation Degree, I am passionate about delivering high‑quality coaching, developing tailored player journeys, and supporting club performance.
