1 ASQ Level One in Golf Coaching for Women (Run by women for women) Inspiring women to take the first step into Golf Coaching The Level 1 course assisted me and encouraged me to motivate many young people into golf, some have developed into county and national players. This I am very proud of. (Kim, Volunteer Coach) The level 1 course has given me the confidence to get involved, to support fellow golfers, youngsters, coaches and friends and helped me understand more about golf. The level 1 course gives you a structure to work with, helps you to help others, and shows you how much fun coaching and supporting coaches can be. (Julia, Volunteer Coach) Current course availability: Formby Hall 9 th & 10 th April (closing date 14 th March) Wycombe Heights 16 th & 17 th April (closing date 21 st March) The Bristol 7 th & 8 th May (closing date 11 th April) For a limited time only these courses will be run FREE OF CHARGE (usual cost 240) Places limited, please book quickly to avoid disappointment Meet our tutors: Kirsty McDonald, Tiffany Mackenzie and Emma Brown Kirsty's life has always involved golf. As a former member of the Ladies European Tour and PGA Golf Coach she has been fortunate in her career to play and coach golf at some of the World's best courses meeting fantastic people along the way. Coaching has had a positive effect throughout my life and I would like to think that I might be fortunate enough to have this effect on others. It would be fantastic if more women became coaches and have the great experiences I have each day. I have also seen the positive effect that female coaches have had on my daughter through the different activities that she takes part in. Tiffany is Director of Coaching at Saunton Golf Club, Devon County Junior Performance Coach and HSBC Golf Roots Specialist Junior Coach. Tiffany endeavours to provide an environment which blends natural ability with technical improvement, ensuring each golfers specific requirements are met, whatever their lifestyle. To support someone's passion to coach is a privilege. The more we encourage women to coach golf the more I believe we will encourage women and girls in the UK to participate in golf. Emma is a Full Time Instructor at the Windmill Golf Academy and Golf World Magazine GB Top 100 Coach. I have been playing golf since I was 13 years old. I played for England Girls and Wiltshire before turning pro. I have been coaching for over 8 years and love it!!
