Our PGA Professionals
Nigel Pearce - Director of Golf & Head PGA Professional
I have been the Director of Golf at Sleaford since June 2018 as well as being the Head Professional since September 2006. I moved to Lincolnshire from Sheffield in February 2002 to be the Assistant Professional to Jamie Wilson. I attained my PGA Qualification in 1999 whilst working at Howley Hall Golf Club in Leeds. I am a fully qualified PGA Rules Referee as well as a trained Powakaddy repair agent. I have also attained the Golf Club Management certificate in 2015. I regularly compete in local and national Pro Am tournaments and enjoyed my career highlight in 2014 when I competed in the Lombard PGA National Pro Am Final at Gleneagles where I managed to finish in 5th place. My goal is to continually strive to improve the whole Club and the facilities for all members.
Daniel Thomas - PGA Professional & Pro Shop Manager
I joined the professional team in 2021 as an Assistant Professional from Middleton Hall Golf Club. Since joining the team, I have passed the PGA Training Programme, gaining qualified status and took on the role of Pro Shop manager. Alongside running the day-to-day operations of the Pro Shop, I have a very keen interest in coaching, offering lessons to golfers of all ages and abilities, including the managing and delivery of a Junior Academy on a Saturday morning. I recently became a Flightscope launch monitor owner, which allows me to provide an in depth data analysis when developing player performance or custom fitting. I am a keen golfer, regularly competing in local and national PGA tournaments.
Tia Johnstone - Pro Shop Staff
I joined the Sleaford Pro Shop team in the winter of 2024, having moved from Frilford Heath Golf Club. I have previously worked at American Golf where I was first trained in custom fitting, which I have since gained a lot of experience and passion in. I intend to start my PGA degree in the autumn of 2025 with the ultimate goal of having a career in coaching focusing mainly on women and girls.
