WILL BUTTERFIELD

Will first picked up a golf club at the age of 12, playing alongside his dad and grandad—a shared passion that quickly grew into a lifelong love for the game. He began competing in national open events at 16 and continues to play in South Region PGA tournaments today.

Will’s coaching philosophy is rooted in observation and real-world performance. He prefers to work with players on the golf course or on grass whenever possible, allowing him to see how they truly play and respond under realistic conditions. Every journey begins with a detailed assessment, where strengths and areas for improvement are identified. From there, a personalised improvement plan is created to support lasting progress.

Will works with golfers of all abilities, offering both one-to-one coaching and group sessions tailored to each player’s goals and experience level.
