Whipsnade Park's PGA Professional Mark Day has been
appointed as Hertfordshire County Academy Coaching
Coordinator following an open recruitment process. |
|
Mark will oversee the operation and development of the
County Academy Programme (CAP) and implement coach
education and development programmes within the county. |
|
His role also includes establish a
county coach education programme which provides the

In addition, Mark Day has created a series of skill
challenges for all aspects of the game from driving
through to putting, with the results analysed on a
profile wheel to instantly measure strengths and
weaknesses.
"When I created this programme it was in order for
juniors to assess every aspect of their game and to find
out what their handicap would be for each of these
aspects," he said. "These results can then be brought to
training sessions allowing the coach to make the
sessions much more targeted." |
