I am a very keen golfer and I am looking to turn professional in the coming years and one day play on the European tour. I am currently playing the amateur circuit which is all around England. I hold two course records currently, one at my home club, The Kendleshire which is 64 (-7) & the other is at St. Andrews on the dukes course which is 66 (-5). I am currently off scratch up hope to improve that to +3 by the end of the season. In my spare time, which after playing golf doesn't seem to be a great deal, I love a good social occasion meeting with my friends.

Joshua Mayo joined Windmill Leisure in January 2020 as a fully qualified PGA Professional.

Sports Psychology is an area of expertise for Josh as he graduated from the University of South Wales with a BSc honours degree and will be looking to bring a holistic approach to coaching for all ages and abilities. He likes to use a combination of modern teaching methods which include video analysis and launch monitor data as well as the traditional methods.
