Glenn BillingtonA Brief BackgroundGlenn got into golf later on in life. His previous career was that of a Police officer in the United Kingdom, a detective and investigator for the majority of the time. He retired from the police in May 2007 after serving for thirty years. He had early taken up golf as a hobby, managed to lower his handicap to 0.6 and really loved the game. The best part of my game was his putting. He had flair, feel and the eye for the line of the putt. In 2003 he was persuaded by his professional golfer friends that he had a skill that could be utilised within golf coaching. That was the start of his putting journey 1999

Glenn BillingtonJourney Starts

How do you become a putting coach? How do you start to understand what makes a good putter work?

What you do is learn from the best, find the people that already know some of the secrets.

So, Harold Swash was the man, getting to know what made Harold the man he was and he was able to identify the areas and the fundamentals in putting.

Harold is Glenn’s hero, the man who originated from the same area as Glenn in the Birmingham area of the United Kingdom.

Glenn established certain facts and areas in putting that were essential for a consistent stroke and good feeling. Harold was able to pass on some of his knowledge.

Glenn continued in his quest and worked more and more on basics, establishing what they were and how the simple movements could be made without excessive movement in the hands and upper body, keep that putter square to the target line he remembered Harold saying.

Glenn joined Harold’s team of Accredited putting coaches, working from his base in Spain, developing a new putting studio and linking to many of the golf courses and coaches there.
