Fraser McDonald - Assistant PGA Professional
Fraser is a passionate, young professional who turned pro in 2017 when he first enrolled on the PGA training programme. He has always had a dedication from a young age to progress in his golfing career whether that was either playing or coaching. Even in his relatively young coaching career he has managed to work at some of the most well-respected courses, including England’s top 100 course, Woking GC and Frilford Heath GC. This experience has given him vast knowledge about the game, helped him adapt his approach to coaching and in turn, enhance his pupil’s performance from this.
Fraser is in the latter stages of the PGA training programme where he looks to become a fully qualified PGA professional this year. Alongside the PGA training he has also managed to increase his coaching expertise by learning, using and implementing the likes of Trackman and Foresight Quad into his coaching experience. Fraser is always looking into ways he can complement his coaching philosophy whether that is newer, more advanced technology or various coaching methods.
“When I’m coaching I don’t just want to improve my pupil’s performance but also their knowledge and understanding of their swing and how it works giving them the best possible chance of success on the course!”
