About Ian Butcher


butch21

I am a Level 3 PGA Certified Coach based at King’s Acre Golf Course near Edinburgh, Scotland.

Throughout my professional career my passion has been to develop and extend my knowledge of the golf swing and how it is that golfers learn and improve their game on an individual basis.

As well as talking to top coaches and golfers (of all abilities) I regularly attend golf education seminars including the European Teaching Conference. I also visit other notable golf centres including, most recently, the Butch Harmon Golf School in Las Vegas.

I was awarded a Titleist National PGA Assistants Scholarship in 1999 and have been part of the Scottish Golf Coach Programme since 2002. I currently represent Yonex UK as their technical representative in Scotland. I also recently qualified as a PGA Rules Referee.
