A Little About Me
Sarah Smith
PGA professional golf coach based in Newmarket, Suffolk
I’m thrilled to share that I am now a full-time Teaching Professional at The Links Golf Club, Newmarket, where I specialise in golf coaching and custom fitting. Joining The Links in mid-July was a leap of faith, but it feels like coming home. Having spent over 14 years playing my junior and ladies’ golf here, this new role offers incredible opportunities to grow both personally and professionally in a place that shaped my journey.
Over the past 9 years, I’ve been fortunate to build amazing relationships with the members and staff at SWGC. The club— especially the Pro Shop team—gave me countless opportunities to grow my business, confidence, and skills. However, I’ve recently realised it’s time for a new challenge. While this decision wasn’t easy, I am so grateful for the memories made, the goals achieved, and the support I received. To everyone at SWGC, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
In 2021, I took on the exciting roles of Head Teaching Professional and Cambridgeshire County Girls’ Coach. I’m also deeply honoured to coach the incredible Battle Back Golf Team, which has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
Golf has always been my passion. My journey began in 2012 as a sales assistant at Kingsway Golf Centre, where I gave lessons to juniors and beginners. I also gained valuable experience at American Golf, one of the UK’s largest golf retailers, where I focused on custom fitting—averaging three fittings a day at the Cambridge store. This role allowed me to stay ahead of the curve with the latest technology and products, enriching my expertise in custom fitting and equipment.
I’m incredibly excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to continue sharing my passion for golf with members, students, and the golfing community at The Links Golf Club!
Tournament Golf
Throughout the year, I play in all of the WPGA events throughout the season, as well as Pro Am's and other ladies' events. Between April and October, I compete 2/3 times a month at Golf Courses all over the UK.
