Harry is one of our hard-working PGA Assistant Professionals here at Bowood. Harry started playing golf at the age of 6 and was part of a successful junior section at North Wilts Golf Club. Furthermore, Harry continued playing during secondary school as part of their golf team. After school, Harry decided that university was not for him and spent the next 4 years travelling around the world.

Along the way, Harry completed his PADI Open Water Diving Instructor course as well as becoming a Teaching English as a Foreign Language teacher. These experiences have given him some great knowledge that he looks forward to using in his PGA career. Harry got back into golf after some time away and began working here at Bowood in early 2019, with his aim being to start his PGA Training in 2020. In just over a year he reduced his handicap from 12 to 3 before turning Pro in 2020. We look forward to seeing him grow as a person and as PGA Professional during his time here at Bowood.

Harry first started playing golf in 2017 at Marlborough Golf Club off a handicap of 18 and within a couple of years reduced this to 3. He then made the move to Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort to become one of the PGA Assistant Professionals.

Over the few years of playing, he has enjoyed competing in club level competitions as well as being fortunate enough to represent the 1st Team whilst being a member at Marlborough. Harry is looking forward to completing his PGA Training at Bowood and is excited to see what the future may bring.
