Jake started playing golf when he was 11 and quickly fell in love with the game. After a degree at University, he turned professional in 2016 and has been coaching ever since. His philosophy remains simple–use tried and tested coaching methods to draw out the natural ability in everyone. Jake believes that the first exposure to golf is very important and he enjoys taking pupils through the initial stages of learning, from complete novice to becoming course ready. He has also had success in coaching the club–level golfer.

I have been qualified since 2019 and have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of players.I have worked with juniors and adults who have never played before through to some young professionals just starting out in their playing careers. With all these people my main focus is to ensure all my clients enjoy the process of learning and to help them get the most out of their games.I enjoy teaching all aspects of the game but my favourite is on course lessons. I feel you get the best understanding of a player when observing them play and it really helps to understand a player shabits. This then allows us to make informed decisions on where to focus our time and plan for future sessions

Harrison runs the junior programme here at the academy. Originally from Wales, Harrison got into the game through his older brother who was a PGA professional and started playing from a young age before embarking on the PGA qualification where his passion for coaching blossomed.
