The DARREN GREY Story

Darren Grey’s passion in learning the technique of the golf swing has led to him not only becoming a very good player in his own right but, all being well, he is soon to fully qualify as a PGA Professional and therefore able to share his joy of coaching the game with others.

Born without a lower left arm, this genial 37-year-old from Darlington in the North East of England always loves talking technique, and loves seeing the faces of those he coaches light up with pleasure when they hit a good shot. Darren himself had to put in a great many hours of practice to swing the golf club as well he does, and you sense his customers will see his golfing knowledge as hard-won, and therefore worth listening to.

When Darren helps a client to make progress in their game, he describes their smile of recognition as “the wow factor”. This can be exciting but another key tenet of his coaching is about getting the client to accept, and embrace, that you don’t improve overnight. The path ahead is long but can be hugely satisfying for both the client and the coach. However, it is always wonderful to see the ‘wow factor’ whenever it happens.
