Courtney completed her PGA training in 2022, gaining full membership in the UK in January 2023. Throughout her training Courtney developed her professional skills across three of the top 100 golf courses in the UK - Woburn Golf Club, Royal Birkdale and Wentworth Club. These varied working environments offerd the opportunity to work across inclusivity and development programmes, leading initiatives within the junior academies and women’s section, maximising the potential of each junior and helping each client gain what they wanted from their golf experience. Alongside this, Courtney worked closely with membership to offer lessons from beginner to elite, taking the time to understand each golfer and tailor each lesson, using varied techniques.

The opportunity to conduct her own studies amplified the technical side of her game, offering biomechanical and technical approaches, relevant to her clients’ specific requests in the lesson.
