Scottie Hill

It’s a lot easier for me to talk about my coaching philosophy than myself but I will manage a bit of both as they are very much intertwined.

I found the game trying to generate a bit of spending money searching for / stealing balls  and selling them to the shop at Golf City in Palmerston North, one day Warren the owner gave us a half set of clubs each instead of payment and off we went and a love affair started that has continued for nearly 40 years. 

I begun working in the pro shop at Manawatu Golf Club pretty much the day I turned 15 and my apprenticeship to become a professional at 18.

My focus was very much on playing through my 20’s and 30’s, got to travel to some wonderful places, play some beautiful golf courses, work with some great coaches, biomechanics, sports psychologists, mentors and spend time and compete with a lot of talented golfers. I shifted to coaching full time in 2010.
