Colin Ancsell
Head PGA Professional
Colin's teaching experience over the last 40 years has taken him from Surrey to the West Country, and from the Algarve to the sunny Florida climes. He has the pleasure of teaching people at all levels from the absolute beginner to Tour standard Professionals. His most satisfying coaching experience was being one of the first instructors to coach the disabled to play golf. A lot of fun and a real honour.
For him, coaching is a partnership between coach and pupil. Both have to listen, learn and work together if progress is to be made.

I am a fully qualified PGA Professional with over 25 years of coaching experience. I work with golfers of all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced players and juniors.
My coaching covers every aspect of the game, including full swing, short game, putting, and on-course management. I am known for my enthusiastic and patient approach, and I take pride in helping each golfer improve, enjoy the game more, and reach their individual goals.
