PGA PROFESSIONALS
6 fully qualified PGA Professionals with experience for all types of golfersJP O'Doherty
I started playing golf when I was 16 at Thetford Golf Club in Norfolk and joined the PGA and turned professional by the time I was 21.
I spent 9 years working at Thetford before I moved to Jersey in 2012 to join the Royal. I feel very lucky to be able to live on this wonderful island and call Jersey my home.
It's about having fun
We strongly believe in bespoke tuition. We will adapt our method, vocabulary and of course our goals to the student we are teaching.
Our main objectives when teaching are:
- Good fundamentals including grip and posture
- A simple and efficient way of swinging the golf club focusing mainly on the club path and face angle
- A good connection between the arms and the body
- Ensuring you have suitable equipment to help you reach your full potential.
- Have FUN
