Three PGA teaching pros

We have are lucky enough to have three full time PGA Professionals here at Mattishall, so there’s no excuse for not being able to get a lesson to improve that swing, chip or putting technique.

Our PGA Professional Matthew Gardner and Assistant Professionals Oli Underhill-Smith and James Wheeler, provide one-to-one coaching to both members and non-members. Matthew, Oli and James also provide our popular class programme for Beginners, Ladies and Juniors.

Matthew Oli and James’s tuition is ideal for those wanting to brush-up on their golfing techniques as well as those new to the sport wanting to start from scratch. The lessons are tailored specifically to the player, depending on their previous experience and goals.

Assistant PGA Pro

Oli Underhill-Smith

I started playing golf at the age of 3 and have never stopped since. I started here in 2021 as shop assistant and began my PGA training in 2023, with 1 year left to complete.

I enjoy all elements of the golf industry, but teaching is my passion.

Assistant PGA Pro

James Wheeler

Excited to be starting my next chapter as a Year 2 Trainee PGA Professional at Mattishall Golf Club.
 
With experience at Addington Palace Golf Club and Horton Park Golf Club, I’ve worked with golfers of all levels to help them improve their game, lower scores and enjoy it more.
 
I specialise in beginner progression, helping new golfers build confidence and establish strong fundamentals from the very start. I also focus heavily on helping golfers increase driving distance and make straightforward swing improvements they can take straight onto the course.
 
My coaching is all about making golf enjoyable while delivering real, measurable progress, whether you’re just starting or looking to take your game to the next level.
