About Me

My golfing journey began at the age of 14, and from the moment I picked up a club, I knew I'd found a sport that would challenge and inspire me for years to come. What started as a passion quickly developed into a competitive career, giving me opportunities to compete at a high level and, ultimately, pursue a career as a PGA Professional.

Throughout my amateur career, I was proud to represent Essex Juniors and had the honour of serving as Junior Captain in 2018. I also represented Essex Ladies in both the First and Second Teams, experiences that helped shape my competitive mindset and deepened my passion for the game.

In 2022, I graduated from Myerscough College with a First-Class Degree in Golf Management, providing me with a strong foundation in both the technical and business aspects of the game. Following graduation, I moved to Florida, USA, where I spent time working at Frenchman's Creek Country Club. During my time there, I gained valuable experience across a variety of roles, including Outside Operations, caddying, and working in the Pro Shop. This experience gave me a greater appreciation of the day-to-day running of a world-class golf facility while allowing me to learn from experienced PGA Professionals and immerse myself in a different golfing culture.

That same year, I achieved a top-15 finish at the Women's English Amateur Championship, before going on to win the Essex County Championship in 2024.

I turned professional off a handicap of +2 and began my PGA training in the winter of 2024, combining my competitive playing experience with a passion for helping others improve their game.

My coaching journey started in Suffolk, where I've worked with golfers of all ages and abilities. These experiences have broadened my approach to coaching and reinforced my belief that every golfer is different. That's why every lesson I deliver is tailored to the individual, ensuring each player receives coaching that suits their goals, learning style, and ability.

The most rewarding part of coaching is seeing my players improve—not just their golf, but their confidence too. Whether it's striking the ball more consistently, lowering scores, or simply feeling more comfortable on the course, I love seeing people leave each lesson with greater belief in their own ability.

My goal is to create a friendly, supportive coaching environment where golfers can enjoy learning while making real progress. Whether you're a complete beginner, a club golfer looking to lower your handicap, or a competitive player aiming to reach the next level, I'm committed to helping you achieve your golfing goals and enjoy the game even more.

I look forward to welcoming you for a lesson and being part of your golfing journey.

“I continue to take both group and individual lessons with Charley at Woodbridge GC. I started as a total beginner and in under a year I can safely and confidently navigate an 18 hole golf course. This is due to Charley’s simple but effective instruction. She is also a lovely person who I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn golf”
