Ben Vernon - Head Assistant PGA Professional

I started my Professional career in Kent where I coached along side my father and build up a strong reliable client base. I have great experience in custom fitting and am a fully qualified PGA Professional.

I will be here teaching and ready to help you with your golf come rain or shine. My aim is simple "to help you play better golf" whether that's using a technical or simple approach.

Zack Bedford - Assistant PGA Professional

I have been fortunate enough to grow up on the links in St Andrews from an early age.  Having progressed through their junior ranks, I turned professional in 2016 to compete on tours around the country. 

After graduating from the University of St Andrews in 2018, I gained experience in golf not just by playing; I also caddied in the summers, and worked at The Open and at Dunhill Links Championships.  I’m now twenty-five years old and ready for the next stage in my golfing career - achieving my coaching credentials in order to help others enjoy the game that I love.  Expect enthusiasm and passion for golf if you stop to have a chat in the pro shop.

Tom Creed - Assistant PGA Professional

I started working in the Pro Shop in 2021 with aspirations of turning Professional in 2022. Seeing my colleagues get such enjoyment from coaching golf and with also having the experience of coaching cricket and football, I felt that I was going to be able offer something unique to those that I taught. I’m a big fan of the mental and course management side of golf and am really keen to get coaching!
