Simon Payne - Golf Lessons

I was appointed Head Professional at Cowglen on the 1st May 2000 having served as an assistant at the club since 1989. As an assistant I received one of the coveted PGA trainees of the Year awards on my qualification to full PGA membership. I was appointed as the Glasgow Golf Union Junior County Coach in 1999, a position I held until 2016. In 2009-2011 I was selected as one of only 4 Scottish Golf Union "Performance Club" coaches and in 2013 as a Scottish Golf Development Center Coach. In 2010 my status as a PGA member was elevated to Advanced PGA Professional in recognition of my experience and continued Professional development. This status was increased again to Fellow in May 2017. This status is based on a strong desire to improve own understanding and knowledge, through attendance at courses, seminars, and by taking qualifications related to golf, as well as having shown commitment and a willingness to develop self. Writing articles and/or delivered seminars and being recognised by his peers as having a high level of skill and knowledge. I am happy helping all levels of players whether they be low handicappers or beginners. In 2017 I achieved ASQ ( Associated Sports Qualification) Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Golf and in early 2021 I achieved the PGA Director of Golf Qualification. I am one of only four people in the UK to have achieved both these qualifications. I feature regularly in Today's Golfer the UK's #1 Magazine as one of its Top 50 Coaches.
