Benn kept his playing rights on the main tour in 2006, 2007, 2008 and narrowly missed out on his first European Tour win at the Austrian Open in 2009, losing by 1 stroke to Rafael Cabrera Bello who shot a final round 10 under par.
During his recovery from cancer, Benn discovered the passion for coaching whilst still playing in professional tournaments. It’s this passion that continues to drives him today.

Callum Scott
I have been playing golf professionally for over 10 years with over 20 tournament wins on various mini-tours and in the South Region PGA.
In the last 5 years, I have undertaken two Mac O’Grady schools this has given me a great understanding of the mechanics of the swing as well as the short game.
Working with Robert at some of the biggest European tour events has given me a great insight into how European tour players practice and prepare during a tournament.
