Mark Higgins
PGA Professional
I began my golf studies in Myerscough Golf College in England, analysing golf performance and the psychology of golf. After 3 years I completed a Golf Performance Degree and turned my focus to the PGA where I completed a further 3 years of Professional Golf studies.
Since turning professional I have been teaching in Limerick Golf Club and I am keen on improving golfers swings , helping them to identify their faults while also providing easy to use drills to help fix their issues.

Jack Ryan
PGA Professional
Having played golf for close to 20 years I have a real passion for helping golfers improve their game. My aim in a lesson is to make the process as simple as possible for players. There will be a focus in assisting the player to understand their golf swing in more detail and figure out why shots go awry on the golf course.
​
My own work experience has taken me to several different places. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management in UCD in 2015, I have worked in Boca West Country Club Florida for a season, I have also worked in Adare Manor Golf Resort for several years in golf operations. I managed McGuirk's Golf Tralee store for over two years, prior to my current position of assistant PGA pro in Castletroy Golf Club.
