DAVID CLAYTON

P.G.A. Qualified Golf Professional

David Claytoncomes to us here at Arundel Hills Country Club with over twenty years experience on three different continents Europe, Asia and Australasia. He turned professional in 1990 under the guidance of the Chairman of the British PGA at Coventry Golf Club, England. He then immigrated to Australia in 2003 where he took up the post as Club Professional for the next seven years at Parkwood International Golf Course. His next port of call was Manila Polo Club, Philippines in 2011 for a short stint as Head PGA Coach until returning to Australia in November 2011 which brought him here to Arundel Hills Country Club as the newly appointed Resident Golf Professional.David has spent the first twenty two years of his professional career playing and coaching but plainly admits that teaching has definitely taken over now that the body doesn’t want to respond anymore to the rigors of tournament golf. Even through his tournament days he was always juggling coaching and playing which has given him extensive knowledge and experience.

Playing various tours in U.K, Europe and Australia with multiple victories in both tournaments and Pro-am formats, he also holds the record for the fastest round of golf on the European Tour.

David adopts the attitude of keeping things simple and enthusiastic “it’s a hard enough game already without complicating things even more”. Also psychologically he keeps you very positive with even the shots that don’t go so well.

David uses V1 Golf Software for video analysis “not everyone wants to see his or her swing on camera but it can be used to great effect”.

9 Hole and 18 Hole Playing Lesson - P.O.A

It’s reasonably easy to get rhythm and hit consistent golf shots on the range, it takes much more skill and belief and confidence to take it out on the course and into competitions.
The nine holes will allow me to focus and assess your course management and mental approach to the shots you execute.
Afterwards you will feel more confident about playing shots on the course than you did before.
