Jamie Leech - PGA Assistant Professional

Hi there, My name is Jamie Leech or some of you know me as Millar. I’m currently undergoing my PGA training to become a fully qualified Golf professional. I’ve been a member of County Louth Golf Club since 2013, over that time as a member of the golf club I have been Junior captain in 2017 and have taken part in many club team events. Starting the PGA journey was a real exciting feeling as it has been a dream of mine to work in the golf industry so turning Pro and playing in PGA events last year was a completely different ball game to playing in your weekly competition, in which the first year I felt nervous every time I stood on the first tee, so this year and hopefully progressing into the future I will go into every event with an abundance of confidence. Having good short game areas and the development of junior coaching is an integral part of my PGA journey as I feel these areas can really help you process massively into becoming a better coach and also the further progress of your PGA journey. A goal for me this year is to boost my social media presence to provide golfers with different tips, tricks and other golf related information to help them progress their golf game.

David O Brien - PGA Assistant Professional

Hi my name is David O Brien. I am a PGA assistant here at County Louth Golf Club. I started golf when I was 12, playing out of Laytown Bettystown Golf Club. From the moment I started I fell in love with the game and became addicted to improving and learning from others. Throughout this time I was lucky enough to be involved in a great junior program which saw strong success. I now plan to bring this passion into my career and showcase the knowledge I have learned throughout the years. My main aim as a PGA professional is to cater to all levels of golfer and aid improvement in their own games but ultimately get people enjoying the game that we all love. Every year I set out goals and this year is no different. Firstly, I want my clients to see improvements in their games while enjoying this process. By the use of my skills and the access to the advanced technology we have, I believe that I can add value to our members. Secondly, I want to help create a striving junior program at the club. This will involve being available at all times to juniors in the club and creating an environment where they can learn and enjoy the game. A personal goal of mine is to be competitive in my own game. This year I want to compete on the region and aim to have my game sharp for the start of the season. Finally, continual learning is something that is very important to me and I plan to take every opportunity to learn from the people around me and others within the space. This will allow me to provide a better product year on year to the members of County Louth Golf Club and the surrounding area. I look forward to the year ahead and what it will bring.
