I was born in Sweden and prior to arriving in South Africa in April 2006, spent 25 years living in the UK. It was during my time there that I joined the Professional Golfers' Association, in 1996. Having studied golf and obtained my qualification through the PGA training program at The Belfry, England, I became a full member in March 1999.

I am a class AA member of the Professional Golfers Associations of GB&I and South Africa, a Level III golf coach as well as a TPI qualified golf fitness instructor. For the past 2 years, I have been the resident golf professional at Walmer Woods Driving Range and was delighted to have been offered the opportunity by Gary Packer to take up the position of Teaching Professional at the Walmer Country Club.

There are some exciting times on the horizon for the club and I hope I can contribute by providing teaching programs to appeal to all players. I have extensive experience of teaching golfers of all abilities, having taught at The Regent's Park Golf and Tennis School in Central London for 18 months and more recently at Seckford Golf Club, Suffolk, UK. During my time as a golf professional in the UK I have been overseeing coaching programs and been responsible for the marketing and promotion of golf throughout the region.

My role is to make golf accessible, achievable and above all, fun for all players. As a qualified PGA Professional, I am the most qualified to;

· teach people to play golf, having total knowledge of the theory of the Golf Swing
· provide individual, shared & on-course lessons as well as packages inc. video lessons and fitness screening
· encourage new golfers, particularly junior and ladies by offering structured programs
· offer best advice on equipment and the effects of custom fitting
· offer a comprehensive club repairs service, from re-gripping to personalising clubs
 

PGA levels are tried and tested thus ensuring that my advice is the best in the industry. I look forward to meeting as many members as possible, particularly during the busy holiday period. I can be contacted through the Golf Shop at Walmer Country Club, alternatively you can call me directly on 083 659 7505 or email me at nic@pgasa.com
