The Royal Golf Club’s new PGA head teaching professional Nikki Hunter aims to encourage more women in the kingdom to take up the sport.
Nikki, from New castle upon-Tyne in the northeast of England, started playing golf at the age of 12. She carried out her PGA training in Newcastle, specialising in junior and ladies coaching programmes.
Upon qualifying, she started work at The Address Montgomerie, one of Dubai’s top golfing courses, where she successfully managed the Ladies Development Programme as well as helping individual clients.
The Geordie is also a TPI level one instructor and continues to develop her coaching techniques through research, drills and coaching aids.
“I’m delighted to be here in Bahrain and look forward to working with Juan and Zander, our two PGA teaching professionals, on growing the game of golf here,” said Nikki. “There hasn’t been a female teaching pro at the club for a number of years I believe and I look forward particularly to encouraging greater numbers of women to give this wonderful sport a try.”
