Richard Smith

       Senior PGA Instructor

I don’t believe there is a general secret to success in golf but I do believe every player has a secret to their own game. My coaching philosophy is to try and listen to you and unearth this secret to help maximise your potential, thus allowing you to be confident on the golf course. Every lesson I give will be unique to you and my approach is to apply bespoke proven coaching techniques that will help you as an individual golfer. I am progressive in my approach and study all coaching philosophies to find a winning formula for you.

Reaching your full potential involves a combination of being confident in your technique and equipment. I am available fulltime for both coaching and custom fit.

After representing my county and playing nationally as an amateur I graduated with a Diploma in golf studies at Myerscough College in 2000. I joined the PGA in 2002 and became fully qualified in 2005.  My PGA coaching experience has seen me coach every level and type of player in many different languages including various county players. In 2005 I returned to Myerscough College where I helped develop the academy at Myerscough College lecturing in all performance related subjects. I have also played competitively throughout my career gaining valuable experience from playing regularly with several European tour players which I have passed on to all my clients. I will continue to play competitively and represent the academy.

“We are thrilled to have Richard join the team @MJGA.  He brings vast  coaching experience with him, that will be of huge benefit to all his clients.  Richard has exactly the right attitude towards coaching, in that he treats everyone as unique, which as you know is very much the MJGA way!  I am confident Richard’s enthusiasm and passion for helping golfers of all abilities, will be a vast asset to the team and our clients.  We wish him many years of success within MJGA.”  Mark Janes – Director of Instruction
