Ben was one of the UK’s top elite amateurs, claiming prestigious titles including the Eden Trophy and competing in major events such as the British Amateur and English Amateur. He shares what it was like performing on the big amateur stage and the lessons he learned competing against some of the best young players in the game.

We then dive into his time on the MENA Tour, where Ben first competed as an amateur before turning professional. He opens up about the realities of life on tour, the challenges of chasing a professional career, and what the experience taught him about resilience and self-belief.

More recently, Ben has transitioned into coaching, and we discuss how his competitive background shapes his philosophy and approach to developing players today.

We round out the episode with Ben’s favourite golf destination and his ultimate fourball - a fun finish to a fascinating conversation.

A brilliant insight into the journey from elite amateur to tour pro and beyond.
