Our golf squad
We aim to operate three active teams in the BUCS Leagues with a squad of 28 players. Additional squad members play as and when required. This is subject to academic work, performance in other events or tournaments, other personal commitments, injuries, illness, and general unavailability.
Rick Daniels is the Performance Manager for both the UCLan Golf Squad and Collegiate and Prospects Golf Tours. Rick is a qualified PGA Professional and has been overseeing the management of the playing squad for the past 22 years. Rick is also one of our own graduates.
Craig Lea is the Performance Coach for our squad. Craig is a qualified PGA Professional. Craig's role includes the position of Lancashire Golf Union Director of Coaching and Head Golf Professional at Myerscough College.
Collegiate Golf Tour
The Collegiate Golf Tour was introduced in September 2001. Before this, young golfers at colleges and universities didn't have a structured way to compete. Competitions were based on a single 'one-off' round. This made it hard for golfers to develop their mental game or maintain the consistency needed for top performance in tournament settings.
