23 - From The Open Championship as an Amateur to Elite Golf Coach | Gary Milne PGA
Episode 23: Gary Milne — From Open Championship Amateur to Elite Golf Coach
In this episode of The Locker Room Golf Podcast, we sit down with PGA Professional Gary Milne for a fascinating look back on a career spanning both sides of the game.
Gary's playing career included a standout amateur pedigree, competing in the Open Championship at Royal Troon before turning his attention to coaching as a PGA Professional since the early 1990s. Over the following decades he progressed to Head Professional and has since become one of the region's most respected elite golf coaches — serving as Devon County Coach for 17 years and helping shape the game's next generation of talent, guiding junior players as they've worked their way up through the ranks.
What sets Gary apart is the breadth of his coaching — from complete beginners to seasoned elite performers, he brings the same insight and enthusiasm to every level of the game. He continues to coach and thrive at Woodbury Park Golf Club, just outside Exeter.
It was a pleasure sitting down with Gary to talk all things golf — we hope you enjoy the conversation.

Ep 22 - From Playing with Rory and Shane Lowry for Ireland to now an Online PGA Coach - David Leathem
In episode 22 of the Locker Room Golf Podcast, we sit down with PGA Professional David Leathem at the iconic Rusacks Hotel in St Andrews — the Home of Golf — for a conversation about a career that’s taken some fascinating turns.
David represented Ireland alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry before turning professional, and he takes us through that journey step by step: what it was like competing at that level, the transition into the professional game, and how his path eventually led him away from the traditional club pro route and into building a career as an online golf coach.
We talk about reinventing yourself in the golf industry, the shift from in-person teaching to coaching online, and what it takes to build a coaching business that reaches players far beyond your local course.
Whether you’re a golfer looking to improve your game or you’re curious about the different paths a career in golf can take, this one’s well worth a listen.
