Name: James Ridyard

Position : Junior Academy PGA Professional

Details: Following his honours degree in sports studies at De-Montford University in Bedford, James worked for a year as a Golf and Fitness instructor in America before taking up the position of assistant golf professional at The Bedfordshire Golf Club.

During his time at the Bedfordshire, he taught both group golf lessons and individual lessons including the county Girls’ Under-14 team.

James also competed for a season on the Hooters golf tour in America. Being based at the David Leadbetters headquarters in Champions Gate gave him a valuable insight into running a successful golf academy at a high profile club.

We are delighted to have James on the coaching team to help grow and develop the junior golfers within Cambridgeshire. We have a fabulous new golf centre and with the support of the Junior Golf Foundation, we are confident that we will attract more youth into this wonderful sport.
