About Glyn Bateman
PGA Professional Golf Coach at Royal Eastbourne Golf Club
I started playing golf at aged 12 and became a junior member at Royal Eastbourne Golf Club. By aged 17 I proudly won the club championship and retained it for the next 2 years.
It’s fair to say I well and truly caught the golf bug, and headed to the USA on a division one golf scholarship. During my college golf career I played competitively against some of the best amateurs in the world and secured a few trophies along the way.
I started my professional career in 2003 with the goal of being a touring pro. I qualified and stayed on the Euro Pro tour for 4 years, playing various mini tours around the world and proudly won the Jamega Tour Championship in 2008.
In 2013, I qualified as a PGA professional and had a keen interest in coaching and helping golfers of all level improve their game. I based myself at Lottbridge Golf Club in Eastbourne, offering me the chance to teach all walks of life and clocking up thousands of teaching hours.
During my PGA training I continued to play competitively and won The Sussex Open and the Sussex Professionals, along with finishing top 5 in the British Assistants at East Sussex National.
Over the last 10 years I have specialised in coaching adults of all levels from tour pro’s to amateurs, alongside working with juniors to develop them to elite level. At one point my youngest student was 3 and my eldest 86!
In recent years, it has become obvious to me that to give the best lesson experience possible, I need to utilise state-of-the-art golf technology. Therefore in June 2022, I diversified my coaching business to focus on measuring performance and improvement using the best technology on the market.
I joined the team as the Gray’s Golf as their PGA Professional specialising in indoor coaching using TrackMan and GCQuad.
It is an exciting new journey for me and my students progress has been rapid since adopting a fusion of traditional coaching with modern technology.
Alongside indoor tuition, I offer playing lessons and golf tuition breaks overseas.
