Dylan Williams
PGA Head Professional/Director of Golf

The first thing that strikes you about Dylan Williams, the Director of Golf and head professional at Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club, is his enthusiasm for his position. Perhaps this should not be a surprise, as P&K is where he started his golfing life many years ago as a junior golfer and he represented the Club in various competitions at both junior and senior level and in particular The Victory Shield Foursomes. He achieved a handicap of +1 (plus one), a level we hackers can only dream about. He also represented the county.

Some 65 new members arrived as a result of strong marketing techniques and the club has created a pathway that has resulted in a significant increase in junior membership.

His career development includes a stint as an Head Professional at Milford Haven Golf Club and there is an international flavour as he was Club Professional at Golf de Clervaux in Luxembourg.

Note the point on tuition. Dylan has a passion for teaching golf. He derives great satisfaction from introducing beginners to the art, science and craft of the game and tweaking the frustrating minor ailments that inevitably creep into the swings of low handicap golfers.

Dylan has been in position at Pyle & Kenfig since 2008, and takes pride in stocking his shop at a level consistent with a prestigious club such as P&K. He is aware of the challenges of running a commercial enterprise in these difficult times, but is confident that with his acquired business acumen, his passion for teaching and his commitment to P&K, he will overcome any hurdles that lie ahead. In his view there are never any problems, just challenges.
