The Head Professional

CAMERON CLARK

Head pro at Moor Hall GC, in Sutton Coldfield, since 2003

GB&I’s PGA Cup captain

“My father and brother are both pros so I was brought up around golf all my life. I left school at 16, worked with my dad for two years and turned pro as soon as I got to scratch. “Then I did my three years’ PGA training course. “I didn’t honestly think I could make it on tour when I turned pro but then as my experience built up and my results get better and more consistent from playing in PGA events and pro-ams it really stood me in good stead to take the next steps. “People have respected me a lot more as a club pro because of my playing ability. It’s what the club wanted out of their club pro when they advertised for the job – I actually did a playing interview. I’ve been very lucky with that.“
