Join me in welcoming Alex Davies! 

I am delighted to welcome Alex Davies to the Professional Team at PGC. Alex has had a glowing ten years in the PGA and comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Alex will be present in the pro shop, available for lessons, custom fitting and will deliver our Junior Programme, Ladies Pathway and New To Golf group tuition. 

Here is an intro to Alex - 

I am 36 years old and was born in a town called Reading. For those football fans out there, I am a big Reading fan and any other season I would say any stick you give me, is fully deserved, but long may the unbeaten run continue! I have a twin brother who still lives in Reading along with most of my family.

I am a qualified Advanced PGA Professional and have been a member of the PGA for 10 years. I started my career as many aspiring young professionals do, believing I would make it on tour. Unfortunately, playing at the top level was not written in the stars for me. This however didn’t dampen my spirits and I knew I wanted a career in the game I love so much.

I was very lucky in my early 20s and started my career as a trainee PGA professional at The Belfry where I worked for over 6 years, developing my coaching skills under some of the best professionals in the industry including Gary Alliss, son of Peter Alliss. In 2011 I had the opportunity to move to The Celtic Manor Resort to manage their Golf Academy and where I also gained experience supporting European Tour events played on the Twenty Ten course, teaching up to 10 hours a week, and developing my custom fitting skills at the National Fitting Centre

My next move was to take on a Golf Operations Manager role at the private members club Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire. This was my first role really getting involved with a members’ club which was extremely different from the resort and commercial golf I had been used to, but a very rewarding role. I’ve since held management positions at Belton Woods in Grantham and more recently Dean Wood Golf Club, following a move to Preston after buying a house here with my partner Naoimh who has previously donned the Preston colours as part of the Ladies Scratch Team back in 2013-2014.

I’m delighted to now have the opportunity to join Andrew and the team at Preston Golf Club which I’m thrilled to be a part of, and I’m really looking forward to meeting you and getting going.
