Burghill Valley has three golf professionals - Keith Preece, Andrew Cameron and Kris Jones. They are a team dedicated to providing a quality service, for members and visitors alike.

Firstly, there is Keith Preece. He comes from the Hereford area and has been a professional golfer for the past eight years. "When I left school I played as much golf as I could," he said. "I worked at Burghill, in the shop, but really just played amateur golf. I did that for several years, playing amateur golf and working here when I wasn't playing."

When he turned professional in 1997, Keith continued to play, on the regional circuit and on the Europro Tour.

Then he took up the job at Burghill and qualified as a full PGA professional three years later.

The second professional at Burghill is Andrew Cameron. He works at the club on a part-time basis and does a lot of the teaching.

He comes from Ross-on-Wye and, like Keith, is a fairly new professional, having left the amateur ranks only in 1999.

The third member of the team is Kris Jones. At the moment he is finishing a college course in Gloucester, aiming to take his degree in sports science this summer. At the moment he is still, strictly speaking, an amateur but he intends to start his PGA training this October.

The three professionals are a well qualified team.

Keith still plays a little, in the Wales & West Region events but, like Andy, tends to concentrate more on teaching and running the shop these days. Kris has already played for Shropshire and Herefordshire as an amateur. "We can offer a quality service to members and to visiting golfers," said Keith. "We have a wide range of equipment here in the shop and our lessons are competitively priced."

Those lessons, should you wish to partake, will cost you just £15 each. Or you can have six for the price of five. Contact the pro shop on 01432 760808.

The three experts at Burghill provide the final piece in the jigsaw that makes up a great golf club and a superb society venue.

Like everything else in the club they are a quality unit. They are guaranteed to make your visit an exceptional one.
