Golf coaching is all about you and what you want to get out of your game. Here at St. Mellons Golf Club Pro Shop with Brian Lee and Tom Benjamin, we pride ourselves on being good listeners and aim to provide the best possible professional advice, whilst ensuring each lesson is tailored and enjoyable for the golfer.

Why Coaching?

Here at Brian Lee Golf, we’re passionate about helping you play better golf.

Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.

Think back to your last few rounds and try to pinpoint an area that cost you shots…

Maybe, you had too many three-putts as a result of poor distance control? Or did you miss too many fairways to the right meaning you had to chip out sideways? It could be that you play well in practice rounds with your friends but struggle to replicate that in competitions?

Through our experiences in the game and our PGA education, we appreciate that every golfer is different. That’s why we offer a range of lessons and packages to suit everyone.

Lessons will cover:

  • Golf Fundamentals
  • Swing Basics
  • Short Game
  • Long Game
  • Course Management

Tom Benjamin - PGA Coaching Professional

I began playing golf from about 8 years old when my dad took me to the local driving range for lessons with PGA professional Brian Edwards. I then became a junior member of the Celtic Manor’s “Coldra Woods” course. From there I joined Newport Golf Club age 11 and enjoyed a fun-filled and successful junior/amateur career where I had the honour of representing Wales at ages 14, 16 and 18, before turning professional on leaving school aged 18.

James Lewis

I have became a member at St Mellons Golf Club in 2018, with my family being members at the club for over 40 years. I now hold the position of Junior Organiser at the golf club which is something I am extremely proud of, the development of this section alongside Tom Benjamin has been very rewarding to be a part of.  I am currently a 3rd year student at Cardiff Metropolitan University studying sports coaching, which is something I’ve always enjoyed doing helping people develop in sport. After university I hope to keep developing my knowledge of the golf industry under Brian, and move on to do my PGA qualification in years to come.

Marc Gonzalez

I began playing golf at the age of 15 at Peterstone Lakes Golf Club. By 16, I had transitioned to Newport Golf Club, where I enjoyed playing team golf for over 20 years. My passion for golf took a backseat while I started a family, but recently, my eldest son has picked up the sport and joined St Mellons Golf Club. It's been wonderful to see him develop a love for golf as well. Inspired by his enthusiasm, I am now looking to get back into playing golf again.
