Teaching is Martin’s first love and he has built up a tremendous reputation in a very short time. His has a wonderful understanding of the game and he is so patient with everyone. He is just a gifted teacher.

Martin and his partner Anette are moving to Weimar in Germany to work at a prestigious golf complex.

Martin was a little emotional when he thanked all the members for their kindness. He has really enjoyed his stay at Banbridge and he couldn’t have wished for a better start to his professional career.

There is no doubt that Martin will be very successful in Germany. He is fulfilling his dream and we all wish him every happiness.
