WRAITH GRANT
PGA Qualified Coach
Based at Horsham Golf & Horne Park Golf
Coaching Philosophy
My coaching is based largely on playing and competing on the European Tour and latterly the Legends Tour. I was fortunate enough to talk to and play with some of the best players in the world including Seve Ballesteros, Sandy Lyle, Ian Woosnam to name a few, and it struck me how simple their thoughts and ideas were around their game and this is something I apply to my coaching – simplicity.
