Who's Who

 

Steven Hunter, Head Professional

Steven joined RWGC in February 1987 as Assistant Professional after playing on various Professional Tours.  During 1992 he became Head Professional and his first job was to create a "golfing experience" within his shop as well as teaching service offering members and visitors an all round coaching experience, including the use of video analysis.  Having survived the fire in 1994, he decided to expand the trading premises to a two tier Professional Shop which carries all the top brands in depth whether you are looking for Equipment, Clothing, Waterproofs or Footwear, we can boast about one of the largest selection in the South not to mention our own Ladies Shop.  Custom fitting is a must, not only are all my Staff trained up by the various suppliers but we use Flight Scope for the fitting whether it be for Club or Ball, this is essential for all golfers.
