The Hub's golf coach, family man David Stewart, explains his passion for teaching the game he loves and presents his favourite music. Expecting a younger set of songs? David says musically, he has an old head on young shoulders, inspired by Paul, his ex-DJ father.
Golf is the Key to Life
David Stewart* started playing golf at Horton Park Golf Club at the age of 13 with a starting handicap of 31. 10 years later David's handicap was down to 4, allowing him to turn professional. David has just finished the 3 year PGA degree covering all aspects of golf.
David's main passion since turning professional has been teaching. He loves to see people improve and gain more of an understanding of how their golf swing works.
David has won every board tournament at Horton Park and holds the scoring record for the club championship in his last competitive year. "I have so many good memories playing here and now hope to make more through teaching."
