Aaron Cox joins Richmond (Yorks) as head professional

Aaron Cox has joined Richmond (Yorks) as the club’s new head PGA professional – a role he’s set to combine with running his ACED Academy at Blackwell Grange.

Aussie Aaron turned pro at 19 and moved to the North East in 2019 – going on to build an incredibly successful coaching programme at Blackwell Grange in Darlington, which was recognised in 2022 with the England Golf Participation & Development Coach of the Year award.

He said: “I look forward to meeting all players that call Richmond Golf Club home as well as new visitors to the club. I will always be available for lessons, club fittings and answering questions that members may have pertaining to golf. I also look forward to giving members and players the opportunity to travel with their golf = offering coaching trips to Portugal, Spain and other areas of Europe.

“I’m looking forward to expanding the ACED Academy at Richmond too, while maintaining my work at Blackwell Grange.”
