Mark Talbott - PGA Professional
After having my first golf lesson at Thorpe Hall in 1998 I joined as a cadet member in 1999. During my junior years I represented the club and county at all levels until gaining a scratch handicap by the age of 21.
I then took up my PGA foundation degree in 2009 and graduated as a fully qualified PGA professional in 2012. Since then I have mainly focused on my playing and coaching career with playing highlights including wining over a dozen pro am titles, the 2016 Essex PGA Order of merit winner and a course record 63 (-8) at Berkhamsted GC.
My coaching is mainly focused on one to one lessons to all standards of golfer as well as running overseas coaching trips with fellow professional Joe Ellis.
Joe Ellis PGA Professional
After taking up golf at the age of 10, I joined Thorpe Hall as a junior in 2007 and represented the club in many individual and team events before starting my professional career in 2013. With help given to me by our Head Professional John Fryatt, I joined the PGA as a trainee in 2014 and have since completed all aspects to become a full member of the association. Since then I have focused on competing on the golf course along with coaching and working in the Professional shop.
My playing career highlights since turning professional include winning multiple professional tournaments. Whilst my main goals are still playing, coaching is a big part of my job that I enjoy and would welcome the chance to help anyone with their game.
My coaching is mainly focused on one-to-one lessons as well as running overseas coaching trips with my fellow professional Mark Talbott.
