About Zach Bougen

I’m Zach Bougen, a PGA Trainee Golf Coach based in Saltford, dedicated to helping golfers of all ages and abilities improve their game. Whether you’re completely new to golf, a junior just starting out, or a mid‑high handicapper looking for more consistency, my goal is to make your learning experience clear, enjoyable, and genuinely rewarding.

Although I am not a playing professional I do play in the PGA tournaments, which helps to keep my game fresh and play some great courses, and meet some great colleagues on the PGA.

PGA Trainee Golf Coach in Saltford

My coaching approach is built around simplicity, patience, and steady progress. I believe every golfer should feel confident in their ability to improve — and that starts with clear guidance, a relaxed environment, and lessons tailored to your individual goals.

I work with:

  • Beginners who want to learn the fundamentals properly

  • Juniors who need fun, structured, confidence‑building coaching

  • Mid‑High handicappers looking to develop consistency and lower scores

No matter your starting point, I’ll help you build strong foundations and enjoy the process of getting better.

My Coaching Philosophy

Golf can feel complicated — but good coaching shouldn’t.
My philosophy is simple:

Keep it clear. Keep it enjoyable. Keep it personal.

Every lesson is designed to:

  • Break down the game into simple, understandable steps

  • Build confidence through achievable progress

  • Create a positive, supportive learning environment

  • Give you practical drills you can take away and practise

I want every golfer I work with to leave their lesson feeling motivated, confident, and excited to keep improving.
