Gary Edge PGA
Head Coach and Academy Manager
Gary is currently the PGA Coach and Driving Range Manager with over 35 years’ of experience. In 1983 he qualified as a PGA Professional, reaching PGA Level 3 in 2008, specialising in the fundamentals of the golf swing and the short game. He has wide experience of high volume teaching and individual specialised technique development. Taking all of this experience into account, Gary has taken the opportunity to establish the “Gary Edge School of Golf” here at the Ashton & Lea Golf Club.
Gary has coached at all levels – from beginners through to county and professional players – and his focus is in allowing people to develop at a pace which the individual grows in both confidence and capability. His approach to teaching can be seen in the “Golf Skills Development Lifecycle”, which depicts progression through various phases.
His 35 years’ of experience have taught him that for many golfers, the game can be complicated and difficult to learn, however through the adoption of his golf skills development approach, the journey is broken down into the individual elements of the game, so that the necessary focus can be applied to the areas needing most attention, this can be from basic grip or stance, to bunker or approach play. However, whatever the help or guidance is needed, Gary's experience can help over these deficiencies.
Gary provides one-to-one coaching along with group sessions and has developed a reputation for taking the philosophies, techniques and educational mediums of recognised coaching experts within the field of golf and incorporating them into his teaching strategies for the students of today. Through his guidance and experience, many have gone onto to progress in the game of golf, not only in the understanding and capabilities of the game, but through the enjoyment and challenge of the game.
