Alex also played her part in a historic moment in 2013, when she was one of the first three women to win all the main awards at the PGA Graduation Ceremony. Then an assistant professional at Les Mielles, she received the Lord Derby Trophy after finishing top of her second-year cohort, having been named Rookie of the Year the year before.
Alex’s commitment to education and lifelong learning now sees her embarking upon a PhD through Northumbria University, focused upon the coaching of women in golf. Her research seeks to explore coaches’ practices and players’ experiences.
As the role of the PGA Professional continues to evolve and the importance of developing the women’s game becomes ever more apparent, Alex’s appointment is an important one for the WPGA.
