Ian Roberts
CLUB PROFESSIONAL
Ian has been Huntercombe Golf Club’s long standing Club Professional since 2004. He has seen the introduction of two new practice areas, a short game area, expansion of the golf shop, teaching academy and the many services it provides.
He qualified as a PGA Professional in 1986 and has worked mostly as a coach amongst the busiest courses in Europe as well as traditional members clubs.
With over 35 years of coaching experience, Ian has a wealth of knowledge to help any golfer achieve their ambitions. He likes to see his lessons perfect basic set up fundamentals and doesn’t over complicate the swing.
Ian doesn’t use trackman technology, he uses video analysis when some visual aid is helpful. Ian’s lesson packages are generally split time wise from range work and course. His lessons are encouraged to improve their skills on the range and then take those skills out on the reality of the golf course.
On a daily basis, Ian enjoys sharing his considerable expertise in coaching and retailing. Although busy at Huntercombe Golf Club, Ian also enjoys competing in senior golf tournaments and playing matches with members and visitors alike.
