Getting to the heart of golf with a PGA Golf Professional. Whether it’s the golf basics, advice on equipment, coaching juniors, or managing a golf club from top to bottom, PGA pros do pretty much anything and everything in golf. Perhaps best of all ” we are there to help you, the ordinary golfer – squeeze the most out of this wonderful game that both tantalises and frustrates in equal measures.

Over the years the role of the PGA pro has changed considerably. This has been brought about by the huge increase in the numbers of regular golfers, making golf one of the biggest participation sports across the globe.

When I became a fully qualified member of the PGA in 1995 I spent 7 years working as a Club Professional. This allowed me to experience various aspects of the profession. I had always had a huge interest in coaching the game and in 2003 I established MT Golf Academy. Six years on I have never looked back and now work with golfers of all ages and abilities on a daily basis. Many of the sessions are delivered on a one to one basis as well as in groups.

After qualifying as a member of the PGA in 1995 I spent many years working as a Club Professional. I gained much experience during this time and had the opportunity to develop my coaching skills. I decided to work full time as a golf coach, and in 2003 I launched MT Golf Academy. Lessons are delivered to individuals and groups all over North and West Yorkshire at various academy locations. All ages and abilities are catered for in a highly professional manner.

Six time Major winner Nick Faldo’s first introduction to golf was via six lessons with his local pro at Welwyn Garden City Golf Club. The three-time Open and Master Champion remains a huge supporter of the PGA professional. “My big message to club members and newcomers is always that money spent on a lesson is money well spent.”

A real passion of mine is the coaching and development of junior players. This has led to my working in schools all over North and West Yorkshire. The real aim after introducing golf into schools is the continuation of learning the game through regular tuition at one of my Academy venues, and ultimately the joining of a golf club.

I have a particular interest in the development of junior golf, which has resulted in my delivery of golf sessions within dozens of schools. Many continue with regular golf tuition at one of my academy venues which include Ghyllbeck Driving Range, Esholt and Fardew Golf Club, East Morton. Ultimately many then become golf club members in their own right. During 2009 I will be working with Bingley St.Ives Golf Club, Harden and Headley Golf Club, Bradford where I will be responsible for the development of their junior golf programmes. I will also be taking on the role as Golf Academy Manager for Shipley College, overseeing an exciting new choice of BTEC National Diplomas.
