Driving Range at Tenby GC

Here's a sneak peek how the Driving Range is shaping up:

"We are delighted to hear that the driving range at Tenby Golf Club is close to completion and due to open early next month. Coupled with the 4 new twin dormie style accommodation blocks, Tenby is a fantastic example of a Golf Club investing in their facilities and prospering despite the well-documented tough economic climate.

Over the past 12 months and under the guidance of Head PGA Professional, Rhys Harry, Tenby have been piloting the GUW Coaching Centres Programme. The Coaching Centres is a 5-year junior development programme delivered by accredited coaches at certified facilities with the goal of providing a more consistent and structured junior coaching experience throughout Wales whilst promoting life-long participation. The Coaching Centres Programme will be launched nationally during September of this year with applications to run the programme opening over the summer. With the new 8-bay undercover driving range and indoor studio, complimenting the short par 3 course and dedicated chipping green, Tenby is the ideal venue to deliver the Coaching Centers Programme. ‘Golf for all, for life’ is evident to see at Tenby Golf Club with the diverse range of facilities and services offered”.

In addition, I've prepared something similar to the article below to be included in the Tenby Observer:

I have been developing the West Coast Academy brand at Tenby Golf Club for the past 5 years. In this time, I’ve insisted on advancing my knowledge, skills and professional development. In 2009/2010 I was privileged to be awarded the coveted Welsh PGA Professional of the Year award largely in recognition of my ‘Get Pembrokeshire Golfing’ Scheme that has seen over 2000 children, 200 ladies and dozens of men have an introduction to Golf.

Together with my Assistant Professional Tom Hilling, we have spent the past 4 years being mentored by and working closely with Scott Cranfield. Scott is a PGA Master Professional and Sky Sports Golf pundit and owner of several Golf Academies across Europe. My time with Scott has been focused around developing the Holistic Coaching Academy.

My success as a Golf Professional resulted with me being appointed as the Golf Union of Wales Performance Coach for South West Wales. This role sees me look after Wales’ most talented under 18yr old golfers. As such I am the only appointed GUW Professional in South West Wales and one of only 5 in the whole of the country.

Currently I am coaching two of the most talented lady golfers in Wales; Becky Harries and Bethan Morris who are both in the Ladies National Squad. I also coaches regional players such as Billy Truman and a dozen talented youngsters in the GUW Performance pathway.

Such is the success of the coaching offered at Tenby that my client books have been restricted the past two years. The new academy facility has allowed me the ability to open my books to new clients and I look forward to inviting more local people to experience the academy.

I am a AAT PGA Professional, who has become certified as a Foremost Golf Performance Academy Instructor and Custom Fit Specialist. My coaching development programme has seen him qualify as a Titleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Professional. I have also attended training in Trackman Technologies, AimPoint Green reading, 3D Biomechanics, Psychology, Move Smart and intuitive golf.

“Having spent the past 5 years evolving our facility, brand and services, seeking advice and learning from the best in the business, I am now very excited to launch our Certified Performance Academy in full. We have a number of key events and special additions to our coaching services this year. I look forward to sharing these special tools during our upcoming re-launch”
