Jul 2021 - Jun 2023
A wide-ranging role that handed me a lot of responsibility during the first two years of my PGA traineeship. The role revolved around relationship building to gain the custom of the membership and external clients. I had carte blanche to create, advertise and coach my own custom events including sell-out academies and specific swing clinics. As my role developed, I grew more confident at utilising products and technologies such as Trackman Performance Suite with Trackman 4 launch monitors in both coaching and custom fitting environments. With stock of most major brands including Callaway, Mizuno, PING, TaylorMade, Titleist and Yonex, it allowed me to develop a strong understanding of brand identity and the different technology employed by each brand. This helped me to identify the pros and cons of different head/shaft combinations and select which would work best for any golfer of any proficiency. Show less
