Personal Profile
I am an ambitious, hardworking and enthusiastic golfer with a current Handicap Index of 6.9 and a genuine ambition to build a long-term career as a Professional Golfers’ Association Professional.
Having grown up playing competitive golf and now working at West Sussex Golf Club, I have developed a strong understanding of the standards, professionalism and member experience expected within a successful golf club. Alongside competing regularly, I have been fortunate to win several club competitions and was honoured to receive the Junior Member of the Year award in recognition of both my commitment to the club and my attitude towards the game.
I enjoy working with people, thrive in busy environments and take pride in representing myself professionally. I am eager to learn every aspect of becoming a golf professional, including coaching, retail, club operations, customer service and helping golfers of all ages enjoy and improve their game.
