Golf Centre

Mark Haines - Senior Teaching Professional
Mark Haines turned professional in 2004 and completed his PGA Diploma, following four years of training at Melton Mowbray Golf  Club.  He then moved on to Wensum Valley Golf & Country Club, Norwich to gain further experience.  His favourite course is Luffenham Heath.
 

Ambitions: To be recognised as one of the 'top' coaches within the profession.

Mark qualified in 2008 and has a clear and visible passion for coaching.  Mark believes progress in golf is not a matter of mastering complicated techniques and so utilises the latest ideas in cognitive learning to deliver simple yet effective tuition.

 

   

David Dickenson, who has been working for the Mike Yorke Golf  Academy at Horne Park for the past 3 years, has been promoted to work alongside Mark.
