Introducing :

Craig Cox | Part-Time Teaching Professional | PGA

Since embarking on his coaching career in 2015, Craig Cox has turned his passion for golf into an inspiring coaching journey.

After gaining valuable experience in automotive finance, where he developed his skills in sales-based training, Craig realized his true calling lay on the golf course—helping players unlock their potential.

Craig’s coaching philosophy is straightforward: there are countless ways to swing a golf club, and he is dedicated to finding the most efficient swing for each individual. Recognizing that no two golfers are alike, Craig believes that their swings shouldn’t be either.

In his coaching sessions, Craig emphasizes open communication and avoids confusing golf jargon, ensuring that every golfer—whether a beginner or an aspiring elite player—feels empowered and understands their progress. His goal is to create an environment where all players can thrive.

Craig has a talent for working with golfers of all skill levels, from those just starting to experienced players looking to shave strokes off their handicap. He finds great satisfaction in setting achievable goals and guiding players toward their personal best. After all, the true joy of golf lies in the challenge of becoming the best version of oneself.
