CHRIS COLES - Head PGA Professional

Chris began his role as Head Professional at Saltford Golf Club in March 2021. Chris has been a part of the professional team for 10 years where he has worked his way through his PGA training to leading a team of PGA Professionals, providing top level service in the golf shop, coaching availability all year round and help and advice to all golfers visiting our club. 

In his early playing years, Chris represented the Somerset County junior teams before turning Professional in 2014. Chris played competitively when he turned Professional and had some great results on the PGA West region. He was fortunate to be coached himself by the late Gordon Brand Jnr who passed on a huge amount of knowledge and inspiration to help both Chris' playing development and coaching skills. 

During his career so far, Chris has worked with the juniors at Saltford Golf Club developing a strong junior section, and is therefore recognised as one of the top junior coaches in the area. This has led to him becoming highly involved with coaching Somerset County Junior Squads including the Somerset Boys U12s and the Somerset Girls Futures. He also takes huge pride in the work he has conducted with the Bath Rugby Foundation, providing disabled young people the opportunity to try golf for the first time and be involved in fun activities.

Chris is dedicated to continuous personal development and therefore has taken additional courses to become a qualified Mind Factor Coach. He was fortunate to spend time with leading sports psychologist Karl Morris to undergo his training and can therefore not only help with your golf swing, but assist with additional psychological coaching that is extremely important in the game of golf. Chris has invested in a state of the art performance studio with GC Quad launch monitor which can be used in his golf lessons, providing his clients with a high class experience. The technology is great for all levels of ability providing as much or as little data as preferred for each individual.  Chris is proud to be a Titleist Staff Ambassador which allows him to use the latest equipment that Titleist have to offer and help advise and sell the latest equipment.
