PGA Professional, Fredryck ‘Freddie’ Meikle started his new role last month and will also aid the technical team when presenting product training to Wilson Staff stockists and advise on appropriate custom fit processes for the brand.

Freddie, based in Milton Keynes, was a Regional PGA Staff member with American Golf looking after nine stores in his region, helping staff reach KPI targets and played a key role in developing the ‘6-step Custom Fit Process’ in stores wo struggled with custom fit conversions.

He previously held the Assistant Manager’s role at American Golf in Milton Keynes after spending a year in Sydney working as a Team Leader and Golf Coach for Golf Mart. He was also the PGA Assistant Professional at Leighton Buzzard Golf Club for four years after graduating from the University of Birmingham (PGA) with a degree in Professional Golf Studies.

“I’m delighted to be working with Wilson Golf which has a great reputation in the industry for producing quality products and I look forward to helping many golfers across the country play Wilson Staff clubs,” said Freddie.

“Wilson Golf is continuing the trend of having fully qualified PGA professionals who are passionate about the brand within its technical staff,” said Lee Farrar, National Accounts Manager.

“Freddie fits the mould perfectly and he’ll use his knowledge and experience to enhance the busy custom fitting and demo days we have up and down the country and support Wilson sales reps in their territories,” he added.

Under Wilson Staff branding, Wilson Golf supplies clubs, balls, bags, accessories, luggage, package sets and apparel, backed up by the UK warehouse based in Irvine, where balls can be logoed, clothing embroidered and customised clubs fitted all under the same roof in short lead times.
