Tom Bridger – Instructor
PGA Qualified Professional
Mark Janes Golf Academy

Tom has been playing golf since the age of 8 and has always shown a great enthusiasm and passion for this great game. Playing all his amateur golf at Tyrrells Wood in Leatherhead, representing them at all levels and living around this area all his life, has enabled Tom to build a fine reputation firstly as a amateur club member and now as a first class golf professional.

Having started his professional golf career at Pachesham Golf Centre in 2001, Tom learnt a great deal about working with the public and the importance of customer service and communicating on an individual level with his clients. Tom has taken these skills to the lesson tee and has built a fine reputation for providing a personal, simple and effective approach to his coaching. In 2005 Tom joined the team at MJGA, in order to take his coaching to a new level and develop his skills as part of a leading team of like minded professionals. Since then Tom has qualified as a PGA Golf Professional and has taught a broad range of golfers from Juniors and Beginners through to single figure handicaps.

Tom’s continued development includes attending in house training with Mark and also travelling to many varied teaching seminars hosted by the worlds leading professionals. Tom is also involved with Mark’s Gainmore Golf Mind Advantage and Chi Power Golf programmes and has enrolled on a Bio-Mechanics course, again showing his desire to continuously develop his skill base.

“I enjoy coaching players of all abilities and helping them to play to their true potential. My passion is to get more players started playing golf and by giving them good foundations and solid fundamentals, they will enjoy their golf for many years to come and spread the word. There is more to golf then just physically swinging the golf club, there are other areas that need to be addressed to complete the whole package and truly improve your golf.’ Because of this, I want to continue developing my skills and working with Mark on our new projects and attending seminars with him really helps to achieve this growth. I feel the more I can learn about the way the body works and the mechanics of the swing, the more I can help improve each and every golfers game”
