MICHAEL Mulligan has teamed up with the professional golf team at Hamptworth Golf Club.

Mulligan, who played full time last year, is an experienced and well-regarded player and coach with nearly 20 years’ experience helping golfers get more out of their game.

Alongside Mulligan is professional Mark Dawe, who is also a well-known player and coach and has already won two professional events this year.

And the third pro is James Dando, who worked with Mulligan at his previous clubs.

Hamptworth’s owner Carl Faulds, a golfer who bought the club last year, said: “When we were looking at putting the new professional team together Michael’s name kept coming up.

“I thought he would be a perfect fit for Hamptworth as he has a wealth of experience.

“At Hamptworth we are building a club for golfers and have built a team to teach, coach and support all standards of golfer.

“We have extensive practice facilities including a full distance driving range and a short game area including practice bunkers and we’re developing the facilities further so that we can help golfers get the most out of their game."

Hamptworth also has five international-standard croquet lawns and a tennis section.
