Miles Harding
:AAT PGA ProfessionalThe AAT is a classification from the PGA, it means I am a qualified advanced professional who has a Trainee doing their 4 year PGA Degree course. I qualified in 1988 after being the assistant at Sene Valley and later at Rowlands Castle were I was a junior member and still regularly lose a fiver on a Friday afternoon.
All my family played golf. My father was an assistant at Sunningdale but his father insisted he got a proper job! He influenced my golf greatly but left me a hereditary bad putter that ultimately decided I would only make a club pro and not a touring one.
I live in Horndean, half an hour away from the club with my wife Sarah and nearly 4 year old daughter Polly.
My main interest away from the golf may surprise you, but if you have known me long enough you would have seen the black eyes and cut lips as I was an active amateur boxer from 1992-1999 with the Leigh Park Amateur boxing club. After being stopped in a contest by an 18 year (I was 15 years older !) my coach at the time said we both need to retire and I then took over the coaching after qualifying as an ABA coach.
I still twice a week or more turn boys in to men and keep 20 plus kids and men off the streets, and I am proud and relived to say I have survived 100s of rounds with the British/Commonwealth and WBO Light Heavyweight champion Tony Oakey (the clubs biggest success's story), and I am continuing searching for my own Amir Kahn.
My main focus at the club continues to be your enjoyment of your golf and the facilities at East Horton, and our Teaching and Custom-Fitting have been improved for 2009 to allow you to be the best player you can be. You will amaze yourself how drastically your game could improve if you can have a sound repetitive swing married with the correct equipment to match that swing.
Oh yes, forgot to mention I'm 40 now!
