Barney Puttick is the head professional At Mid herts Golf Club

 Age - 47

Turned pro - 1979

Years coaching - 25 years

Most notable coaching achievements - Being Hertfordshire County Coach for a dozen years and having three pupils go on to represent their country.

Coaching philosophy - My job is to enhance what the player already has. Often with an experienced golfer it is about reminding them rather than reinventing them! I like to use some drills and analogies so the player can then obtain the feel of the movement. Above all I like to keep it simple, as we do not need a huge thought process on the course.

Best tip - Is it your set up or your swing? Always start from the ground up - so many errors take place before the swing starts. Do weekly set up checks in a mirror and memorise the feeling of the correct athletic set up.
