New Golf Pro joins Tower Links Golf Club

Jonathan, a PGA qualified Golf Professional started his career at Broomieknowe Golf Club on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland, as an assistant professional where he worked for five years. Whilst there, he established a healthy client base and was also responsible for developing the Junior Golf at the club. He also played on the Tartan and MasterCard tour's and succeeded in having a number of top 5 and 10 finishes.

From Edinburgh he moved to Cairo, Egypt, where he joined the Katameya Heights Golf and Tennis Resort to both teach and further develop their Junior Programme. Jonathan also assisted the Head Professional Gary Constable, now the Director of Golf at Tower Links, to coach the Egyptian National Teams at both junior and senior levels to success.

At Tower Links Golf Club he aims to attract new players to the game from both the local vicinity and further afield, because as Jonathan says "this is the first time that international standard golf facilities have been available in the area and I would certainly like to see people taking advantage of them." He went on to say "We have developed a varied and wide range of programmes that will not only help people play the game, but also to have some fun in the process." He also added "At the academy we will be able to offer the established player's corrective teaching programmes incorporating our state-of-the-art video analysis system, as well as teaching golf to newcomers as individuals or in groups. There will also be playing lessons on the course, and we will also tailor-make lessons to suit the individual players need"

Junior Golf is also high on his priority list and Jonathan will actively visit the schools in the Emirate to encourage young people to take up the sport, a project which is heavily supported by of the owner HH Sheikh Faisal Bin Saqr Al Qassimi. The Tower Links team will work alongside the U.G.A. which has an excellent Junior Development Programme.

Jonathan is looking forward to his new role at Tower Links, where he plans to go on developing his career in both teaching and golf operations in general. In his spare time, of which there is not too much - he enjoys watching and playing football along with keeping fit by going to the gym.
