How it all started…….

*** I started playing golf seriously at 15. My first handicap was 30 and in my first full year managed to get cut to 12. *** I joined Barclays Bank after I finished school and played for the bank as well as playing in meetings and matches. My first victory came at Salisbury and South Wilts, shooting level par off 10 Handicap and winning by 10 shots! *** I turned pro in 1992, having completed my PAT at the country Club of New Hampshire in the US.*** I started my career in 1995 at Spring Valley CC in Sharon Massachusetts. In the states I played in a US Open Qualifier at Agawum Hunt Club in Rhode Island – competing against players like Brad Faxon and Brett Quigley. To this day, I have never been so nervous as I was standing on the 1st tee, playing my first professional tournament and getting my name announced through a PA system!! Somehow, managing to find the first fairway and par the first 7 holes….then the realisation kicked in. Some how managed to hold my score till the 14th being 2 over at this stage. After seeing the scoreboard, I realised I needed to be 1 over to qualify. I went for the par 5 on the 15th in 2 shots… Then Splash – triple bogey! I managed to break 80, holing a tough putt on the last to shoot 79, which looking back on was not a bad start to my pro career, considering the circumstances.

*** I started at Donnington Valley Golf Club in Newbury. This gave me great intro into the golf world in the UK Whilst at the club I passed my PAT (Playing Ability Test) at Oake Manor Golf Club in Taunton. ***I then moved to Leaderboard Golf Centre in Reading. This provided me with a great knowledge of custom fitting and retail, being the largest in the area. *** I then moved to Ferndown Golf Club, specialising in coaching and Custom Fitting. I was only there for about 6 months before I was fortunate to get my first head professional position at New Forest Golf Club in Lyndhurst. *** Whilst at New Forest, I was ran my own retails business, custom fitting and Teaching. I also taught at a few schools in Newbury and Reading. Having found a key interest and huge enjoyment from coaching children I started my on-site schools coaching business called “Murray Golf Schools” boasting 14 schools in Reading, Newbury, Southampton, Winchester, Fareham and Salisbury.I continued to coach at these school for 12 years. *** I then started my own junior academy at Walhampton Golf Club in Lymington. *** I was then head hunted to move to Paulton’s Golf Centre where I set up a new Junior Academy and became the clubs Golf Development Professional. *** In 2016 I started up the Hampshire EZGO junior tour and ran this for 7 years at various courses in Hampshire. *** I started coaching at Canford School in 2022 and at Bulbury Woods in March 2025 where I have started my Junior Academy, run my golf days and teach individuals….

 Had an amazing 5-hour lesson with Colin Murray. I’m pretty much a golf beginner, so I was a little nervous and worried about what to expect….i really didn’t need to! Colin is an amazing coach and made me feel at ease, with numerous jokes and banter along the way, which helped build and boost my confidence.   His teaching techniques were brilliant. There were 4 other guys on this course all at different levels of ability (all superior to mine!), but each of those learned valuable lessons to help improve their game….all of us came away smiling, happy, and content! It was a birthday gift, so I don’t know the cost, but rest assured, I’m sure it was worth every penny! I’m going to put what I learned to practice, and I will 100% see Colin again to further my abilities!

Highly recommend lessons with Colin Murray. Regardless of your ability, he will be able to make you even better! New beginners fear not you will feel at ease, and come away 100x better!

All staff that I encountered on the day were polite and professional….The day was worth the 5 stars I’ve given, if not more!

Colin has been making changes and improvements to my game over the past year or so. He’s an easy to understand teacher and I have seen the change in my game and my scores. For the better!
All golfers need a guru to help their game. Colin excels in fulfilling that roll.
I’d recommend Colin to everyone who is looking to improve their game.

Incredible coach!

Got me from a 16.7 handicap down to 13 handicap.

Very patient and will always give positive advice.

Colin is approachable and all lessons are enjoyable! Never a dull moment.

He also takes time outside of lessons to send information, review my scorecards and swing.

If you are looking for a coach who is patient, gives clear instructions, supports you and is a comedian, then Colin is your man!
