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.
