Ashley is the trainee assistant professional based at Ferndown Forest and Ferndown Golf Club, and is willing to work with anybody who wants to improve their game, whether they are complete beginners or people who are already skilled golfers. He is keen to increase his knowledge and experience in coaching, and is always available to help with whatever your fault may be!
He started his golf at Sherborne GC, where he gained his first handicap and fell in love with the game, whilst playing various junior competitions at Sherborne and indeed around the Dorset. He studied and graduated Golf Management at Bournemouth University in 2017, and started work at Ferndown just after leaving the program. He has already built up a very high level of trust with members at Ferndown, with his polite manner, well spoken ways, keen eye for detail and ability to stay up to date with information on the newest club and technology releases.

I cannot recommend Ashley enough. Our first lesson he looked at my swing, chatted about my game and then gave me a simple swing thought to work on. This showed immediate improvement. Lesson two we moved on to a second thought and there was more improvement. I am feeling really positive about my game now! He explains the swing and what happens in an easy to understand way (excellent communication skills) and works within my capabilities. He is young, enthusiastic about teaching and will no doubt become a “Go to” teaching professional in the future. Do give him the opportunity to work with you.
I have been having lessons with Ash now for a good few months, (most weekends), I have no complaints! Every lesson I have we will work on the specific topic thoroughly until I am consistent with it. There is never any cutting corners and as a result of this my golf game has improved massively over the last few months. My average score per round before was around 18-20, now I am going lower and lower. Now averaging around 7-8 over.
Would massively recommend Ash, great guys and is a great coach !
