Your nearest PGA coaching — just off the A36.
Salisbury and Wiltshire golfers have a PGA Professional right on the doorstep. Danny Coombs coaches at Hamptworth Golf & Country Club — just across the county line and a short run down the A36 — with 8 all-weather bays, a full-length driving range and a dedicated short-game area to actually practise on, not just a single net.
Being this close to the city means an evening or weekend lesson without a long trek — ideal whether you're picking up the game for the first time or you're a low-handicap player fine-tuning your swing. The approach is refreshingly simple: no jargon, one clear focus per session, and drills you'll actually remember on the course.
For Salisbury golfers, this is the closest place to get real PGA coaching — and somewhere proper to practise.
