BIOGRAPHY
Chris Parker was born in England in February 1978 and grew up in the West Midlands. He began playing golf at the age of 8, influenced by his father who is an avid golfer. It was quickly identified that Chris had a natural talent for the game and progressed quickly, competing in many amateur and junior tournaments at club and county level, before attending University of Central England.
After having a successful University career it was only natural for Chris to pursue a career in golf, turning professional in 1998.
In 2002 Chris graduated from the PGA of Great Britain gaining Distinction in Coaching. It was during this time period that Chris was drawn to the teaching and philosophy of David Leadbetter where he began his Leadbetter Certification. In 2005, after successfully completing his certification, he began working for the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Timmendorfer Strand, Germany, moving in 2010 to the Academy in Munich as Senior Instructor and Head of Training.
In 2013 an opportunity arose for Chris to return to England where he took on the position of Director of golf for the newly established Leadbetter Academy at Leeds Golf Centre.
Now settled down Harrogate for the past 12 years and bringing up his young family, Chris is looking forward to the new opportunities awaiting him at The Grooves Golf Academy at the prestigious Rudding Park Hotel Golf & Country Club.

MENTAL GOLF: EYES WIDE OPEN
In order to achieve consistency on the putting green, a player’s perceptual motor skills must be fully engaged with the ‘read’ of the putt then the focus on the ball-roll line. Good visual health, creative visualisation skills and obtaining reliable depth and distance judgment information are crucial to great putting. You must be able to read the slope of a green accurately, see your putting line clearly, and trust what your eyes are telling you before you step into the address position and stroke the ball.
