Chris Bell - Head of Youth Development

Chris started playing golf at 7 years old at Holywood Golf Club. He enjoyed a good amateur playing career, which included representing Ireland at boys and youth levels. In 1990 he attended Murray State University in Kentucky USA on a golf scholarship majoring in Journalism.

Coming home he turned professional at Malone Golf Club under Michael McGee, gaining Class 'A' PGA membership in 2000. It was a great breeding ground to improve his teaching skills and the majority of his time was spent enhancing all levels of golf at Malone.

These skills have been put to good use with junior golfers and currently Chris's role at the golf club is the development off all juvenile sections and teams. He has been instrumental in implementing a program of instruction which incorporates rules, ettiquette and group lessons for all young golfers to intregrate them into the golf club. He provides a detailed video analysis system to help their technique and understanding of their golf swings.

Chris is extremely happy working at such a great members golf club and looks forward to helping all members and visitors with their enjoyment of the game.
