Mark Bailie • Golf Instructor
I have been working in the golf industry for 12 years and developed a passion for golf instruction in particular. I grew up playing Junior and amateur golf in Lisburn Golf Club in Northern Ireland and after completing my MSC Sport Management I received a sponsorship to work at a Woodfield Country Club in South Florida.
I spent just over 6 years working in the golf industry in Florida and my last 4 of those providing golf instruction. I learnt my craft at the Jensen Beach Golf Academy studying under one of Florida’s best instructors Bobby Petelinkar who was my profesional coach when I was playing tour members on Florida’s MLGT golf tour as a player.
I have caddied for players who currently play on the PGA tour , DP world tour, MLGT golf tour, Symetra tour and WAPT tour.
I spent my last three years in the US playing golf and teaching golf professionally. My work in Florida equipt me with the opportunity to take an assistant professional position at Barefoot Resort in Myrtle Beach South Carolina where my coaching business began to flourish.
I since moved home to pursue golf instruction in my hometown where I am the golf coach at Down Royal Park Golf Club.
My motto is ‘golf instruction for all’! I am autism awareness trained and teach kids golf to those of all abilities. I sponsor mental health charities and organisations such as the locally run ‘resolute minds ‘ and I organise free golf coaching group sessions as well as beginners and improvers women’s golf classes. I want to make golf accessible for everyone !
What I loved most about golf coaching in Lisburn is the variety of clients I have. I am a golf coach to those of all abilities and from all backgrounds. I want to pioneer opportunity for everyone to learn golf in the greater Lisburn area.
I have indoor and outdoor golf coaching facilities in Lisburn and Banbridge. I want to hear your story and your dreams for the game of golf and join you on that journey to success.
I offer individual golf coaching in Lisburn at Down Royal Park Golf Club and in Banbridge where I have the use of an indoor and outdoor facility.
We perfect the ‘5 Basics of golf‘ that provide you with fundamentals that stand you in good stead to maximise your potential in golf and are completely necessary for a consistent golf game.
I am a specialist in science of body movement in the golf swing. We discuss, implement and alter how your upper and lower body shape your golf swing and we simplify the golf swing in a way that takes away all the outside noise and drive consistency to how you strike the golf ball. Following this is the fine tuning that can bring you to your highest potential in the game of golf.
Throughout summer months I run group golf coaching for ladies beginners, ladies who have graduated to my improver golf instruction class and multiple kids golf summer camps. My advanced Junior golf academy runs year round.
