Joe started playing golf at a young age at Bamburgh and Seahouses and as got older played at Alnmouth Village too. In 2014 he started work at Percy Wood Golf Club and later that year started the PGA training qualification. After completing this he made the move to Alnmouth Golf Club. It was here he found the passion for custom fitting and coaching. He has worked with all levels of golfer from complete beginner - running very successful ladies group coaching too - right the way through to fellow professionals and multiple club champions in the region. Every year all his custom fitting knowledge and expertise gets better and better with the help of expert training from the brands themselves. This is the area he specialises in and looks forward to seeing how he can help you get the best out of your game and equipment.
“My philosophy is very simple - give the client what they want. I feel that after working with such a large range of golfers in terms of ability and frequentness of playing, every client is individual and wants different things from the sessions. I feel it is very important. To work together, set the goals and then make a plan to help you reach them, whatever they are, utilising my professional knowledge and experience along the way to help you get there through the golf swing, psychology and equipment”
“My favourite club has to be the driver - who doesn’t love that!”
“My golfing hero has to be Tiger Woods. I wouldn’t be in this job if it wasn’t for Tiger! He broke down so many barriers and made golf cool! Every one of us as kids went out to play wanting to be like him - if only! He changed the game forever and for that I will always be grateful to him.”
