This week I’m joined by Scott Rose, a former PGA professional who, after ten years in the professional game, has recently returned to the amateur ranks.
Scott’s career in golf has taken him through coaching, custom fitting and some fantastic venues, including Kingsbarns, Fairmont St Andrews and Wells Green. We go right back to how the game first grabbed him while growing up in the Middle East, before following his journey through the PGA and into the wider golf industry.
We also get into:
- Why Scott decided to return to amateur golf — and why he’s loving it
- Growing up playing golf in Dubai and Qatar
- His route through Elmwood College and into the PGA
- Experiences at Kingsbarns, Aberdour, Fairmont St Andrews and Wells Green
- What he learned from spending time around the Butch Harmon School in Dubai
- Coaching, technology and how launch monitors changed the way he worked
- Some of the biggest misconceptions golfers have about custom fitting
- Why being tall doesn’t automatically mean you need longer clubs
- His time as part of Talk Golf Scotland
- The infamous attempt to make a hole-in-one in hundreds of shots
- Why drawn medals can make golf clubs better places
- Some of Scott’s favourite Scottish courses — from Royal Dornoch and Kingsbarns to Panmure, Crieff and Dunaverty
- Life as a member at Ladybank
- Starting Into the Teeth with Callum Allison and the work that goes into producing a golf podcast
- Why trying to improve remains one of the things Scott loves most about golf
Scott also reveals his favourite course he’s ever played, his most underrated piece of golf equipment and a special round at the Old Course with his dad that he’d love to experience all over again.
