Pro Shop

Stuart Smith was appointed as the Club’s PGA Professional in May 2019 and he and his team provide all the teaching requirements while also running and stocking the shop. The indoor studio provides top-of-the-range technology to enhance lessons. It is available for custom-fitting for new clubs as well as gapping sessions to give you accurate information thanks to the latest technology.

Stuart has been teaching golf for more than 25 years and in that time has built up vast experience and knowledge of the golf swing. He prides himself on his expertise of the short game, which he considers to be his speciality. This is enhanced at Thetford as it is coupled with our fantastic short-game practice facilities comprising two putting greens, a chipping green and a dedicated short-game practice area with a well-maintained tee box, course-standard greens and bunker practice area. Stuart offers one-to-one or group tuition. He runs popular Ladies’ and Seniors’ coffee mornings (an hour of golf coaching followed by coffee and biscuits).

He is assisted by Owen Mills, the Club Champion in 2018, and Tim Warner.

Stuart and his team keep the shop open seven days a week from 8am to 5pm in summer and from 8am to 4pm in winter – and most of the time much longer than that.
