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.
