Laleham Golf Club

With over 25 years experience in the golfing industry, Richard has been PGA Qualified since 1994 and trained by Bernard Hunt MBE

Having played in the Ryder cup and captained it twice in 73 & 75 Bernard Hunt also achieved acclaim for winning 33 world -wide tournaments and, I am proud to say is my golfing mentor. Bernard took me on a 3 month trial back in May 1985 and I have never looked back. Not only did Bernard teach me my golf swing but he installed in me, amongst many attributes, a level of customer service which is second to none. Bernard also introduced me to many golfing greats, Sir Peter Aliss, John Jacobs, Neil Coles and Sir Henry Cotton all of whom had wonderful golfing Knowledge and experience.

Teaching golf is a huge passion and apart from the above aforementioned names I have studied David Leadbetter, Butch Harmon, Ben Hogan to name a few, all of which has helped me build up an extensive knowledge of the golf swing. I currently have 3 junior England internationals on my books and I had a hand in the development of Paul Casey and Anthony Wall who both have successful tournament records on the European tour. However, I get just as much satisfaction helping my students through any golfing troubles big or small.
