The PGA, PGA professionals & Prostate Cancer UK talk golf, health and why they are getting behind a new NHS campaign to save men’s lives

To coincide with the launch of The PGA’s new Find a Golf Lesson platform, we’re back with another special episode of PGA LIVE – The Podcast.

Host Alex Perry (National Club Golfer) speaks to three keen golfers - Sinead (36 handicap), Karl (7 handicap) and Hanna (+3 handicap) to talk about their experience of having a golf lesson with a PGA Professional.

We are joined by one of the biggest names in golf instruction - Sean Foley, who coached Tiger Woods for four years between 2010 and 2014.

Born and raised outside of Toronto, Foley set out to be a teacher of elite players after watching David Leadbetter work with Nick Faldo on the range at the RBC Canadian Open in 1988. He played college golf at Tennessee State University and went on to begin his teaching career at Glen Abbey GC.

Foley boasts a hugely impressive CV and his current stable of stars includes Olympic Champion Justin Rose, fellow Englishman and former Masters winner Danny Willett, and two-time PGA Tour winner Cameron Champ.

To celebrate the launch of The PGA’s Find a Golf Lesson platform, Alex Perry (Editor – National Club Golfer) asks three PGA Professionals why people should invest in a golf lesson.

Alex is joined by PGA Captain Elect and Head Teaching Professional at Three Rivers Golf Club, Sarah Bennett, Chris Ryan, who is currently based at the Marriott Forest of Arden, and Joe Feather, Academy Manager at Leeds Golf Centre.

All three PGA Members talk through the process of having a golf lesson and explain how PGA Professionals can improve your game, whether you are new to golf or want to improve your game.

In this very special PGA LIVE – The Podcast episode, we are joined by England's Rugby World Cup-winning coach and Team GB's former Director of Sport, Sir Clive Woodward (OBE).

As a rugby union player, Woodward won 21 caps for England before going on to coach the national team between 1997 and 2004, the highlight of which was leading England to the Rugby World Cup title in 2003. Woodward also went on to coach the British & Irish Lions on their tour to New Zealand in 2005.

More recently, Woodward has acted as Director of Elite Performance and Director of Sport for the British Olympic Association (BOA).

As a huge golf fan and keen player, Woodward speaks to PGA LIVE - The Podcast on a number of interesting topics, including: golf at the Olympics, improving female participation, the importance of great coaching and making the game more accessible.
