Head Professional

Jan 2014 - Jan 2016
I joined Safaa Golf club as Head Golf professional/Golf operations manager. I was responsible for developing the Golf academy and overseeing a team of 10 Golf operations attendants at this 9-hole fully floodlit course. This facility is currently the only grass Golf course on the west coast of Saudi Arabia and is part of the King Abdullah University. After significantly increasing the number of lessons and growing the club's junior academy, the decision was made to bring in a Golf operations manager relieving me of this role. I now teach 35 hours a week on average and have brought in the help of an assistant professional. Working in a very diverse environment has given me great experience for coaching overseas. I have good knowledge of launch monitors (Trackman level 2 certified), Golf coaching and building junior programs (TPI level 2 junior certified). Show less

The Warren Golf and country club was where I did my PGA training under PGA swing tutor David Brooks. I believe that this gave me a great foundation in teaching Golf. Coaching was a large part of my role here, developing the junior academy and building an individual client base of members, guests and corporate business. My role included running the club's junior section which saw increased membership numbers and improved performance in county events. This was a dual role including day to day Golf operations at the club such as merchandising, running large Golf days and tee time bookings. Show less
