The golf professional - enjoying the new role

Following a few years carrying out residential golfschools at the James Andrews School of Golf I am now fully in the swing of my new role at the same complex. Having taken over the running of the professional shop and running of club affairs i am surprisingly enjoying the role a lot more than I imagined I might. The decision to change roles was career based, allowing me to build my reputation as a coach and assist in running a facility would benefit me in the future. However the variety of tasks and also the implementing of new ideas and procedures has made the role very rewarding. Add to that the fact that the club is very busy at present, both on the membership and green fee side, it makes for some fun and challenging days.

The goal now is to increase my client base as much as possible and achieve the goals I have set out for myself to climb the coaching ladder. Qualifications to go for and CPD points to gain is the start to developing my all round coaching knowledge so that i can assist my clients in the best possible way.

Hopefully the role continues as it has begun.
