Oli Tucker - Instructor

Oli’s pathway into professional golf is quite unique. After a youth spell in football with Fulham FC, he continued to play semi-professional until 3 years ago when he began to focus on golf.

His coaching career began at Brentford FC where he continues to coach part time at the Centre of Excellence. Oli is a UEFA licensed coach and has specialised in youth development since graduating from Brunel University in 2001 with a BSc (Hons) in Sports Sciences.

Upon focusing on golf, his natural coaching instincts guided him to junior golf coaching through tri and extreme golf in schools following the completion of his activators workshop. He was among the first group of people to complete the new PGA level 1 qualification and was at the time, the only non-professional to complete the course.

Oli’s work as a tutor, coach and development consultant has focused on:

• FUNdamentals of Movement – Agility, Balance and Coordination (ABCs)

• Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD)
  
  
• Coaching and Learning Environments

He is currently supporting teachers and parents, offering workshops in the above titles and many more.

Oli will also be leading the new junior development programme at MJGA

“I feel I have a lot to offer the sport in terms of player development. As a consultant, I worked with many sports from grass roots to performance levels. I am relishing the opportunity to use and develop my skills and knowledge in golf.”

“I have worked with a number of golf teachers / professionals and I am delighted to have been given the opportunity at MJGA to work with coaches who are way ahead of the curve in terms of player development.”

“I am a big fan of personal development and I am looking forward to this new challenge as a PGA Professional. My short term goal is to continue to develop the juniors at the club adding my own coaching style alongside the MJGA team.”

“As for the future, you may find me in the summer months on a course on the Croatian coast with my yacht moored at the back of the 18th green!”
