How to actually start..

[JackBrocklehurst]

Hi,
I was wondering, I'm 17 years old and been playing for a few years properly. I lost my H/C due to not renewing my membership for a year but I guess it's around 15. What I want to know is how do I actually start my career; by that I mean I would quite happily do anything with Golf for a career but I was looking at the coaching side?
I understand my handicap isn't the best at the moment but I know I can bring that down, I have a lot of dedication towards Golf and am interested.
Any feedback is appreciated, cheers.

Welcome to the forum. There was a similar post not so long ago, if you do a search you should find it. Otherwise those in the know will give you alot of knowledge on here or the computer literate will post the link for the previous post. Sadly I am neither

If you wish to become a coach the main route is to become a PGA Pro which is ran through The Belfry and to go on that you handicap needs to be a maximum of 4 I think. Other than that there are other courses at Uni's/Colleges which do Golf related studies all which have direct links with the Industry. With you being based in Brighton the 3 colleges nearest to you that do them are:
