Chris Roberts - PGA Professional

Golf is huge passion and love of mine. I learnt the game as a junior at Wentworth Golf Club. I was able to learn the game from some great players and coaches at Wentworth. Later in life I was accepted on to the PGA foundation degree from the University of Birmingham and I became the PGA Trainee at Jumeirah Golf Estates home of the Race to Dubai in 2019. I returned to the UK in 2020 where I gained vital experience and knowledge at Silvermere Golf & Leisure. I am so happy and grateful now that I am PGA Professional at Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club. My manner of coaching is very calm and simple and I take extra special attention in listening to what a player needs. I coach all areas of your game on the range and on the golf course. I look forward to helping you with your game and achieving your goals.
