    #17 - Chris Gill is moving his family and career to a new country with new dreams

    Locker Room Golf Podcast — Episode 17 Featuring Chris Gill, PGA Professional & Incoming Academy Director, Thailand In this episode, Dan sits down with Chris Gill — PGA professional, Asian Tour player, and former Head Professional at Newquay Golf Club — for a brilliant conversation about one of the most exciting chapters we’ve covered on the podcast so far. Chris is packing up and heading to Thailand to take on the role of Academy Director, coaching the next generation of young golfers in what promises to be a life-changing move for him and his family. It’s a bold decision, and one that speaks volumes about the opportunities that open up when you commit to a life in professional golf. We explore the full arc of Chris’ journey — the highs and the harder moments of life as a head professional, what it takes to compete on the Asian Tour, and how being a PGA professional can open doors you might never have expected. It’s an honest, inspiring conversation about backing yourself and embracing what comes next. Chris is a genuine fan favourite, and he’ll be sorely missed on home soil — but what an adventure awaits. We wish him and his family all the very best for this incredible new chapter.

    #16 - Nathan Gilpin GM of Perranporth Golf Club

    Featuring Nathan Gilpin, General Manager, Perranporth Golf Club In this episode, Dan sits down with Nathan Gilpin, General Manager of Perranporth Golf Club on the stunning North Cornwall coast, for a conversation that covers everything from his first steps in the game to running one of the most talked-about clubs in the South West. Nathan’s story is a brilliant one — from picking up the game and developing into a solid amateur player, through his PGA training, a fascinating stint as a rules official with England Golf, and ultimately into the golf management world. It’s a career path that’s taken some interesting turns, and Nathan tells it brilliantly. We also dig into the real hot topic of South West golf right now — Perranporth Golf Club itself. The club has been climbing the rankings at pace and is increasingly being recognised as one of the finest courses in the UK. Nathan gives us the inside track on what’s driving that rise and what makes Perranporth such a special place to play. If you haven’t played Perranporth yet, this episode might just push it to the top of your list.
