Anna Dutch
Originally graduating with an Outdoor Leadership Degree, Anna forged a career teaching skiing and snowboarding, working mainly in Colorado, USA.
Due to the snow melting, and the appearance of golf courses on the ski resorts, she felt this was an ideal opportunity to learn and develop a new skill. This quickly led to a real love of the game and a drive to continue progressing in the sport professionally. She went on to qualify onto the PGA of America’s Professional Golf Management course, and later onto completing a large portion of the PGA of Great Britain's Professional Golf course. Deciding amateur golf was more of a passion, she then moved to St Andrews to follow her dream of playing and living in the Home of Golf, ultimately leading her to join the St Andrews Golf Camp Team, where her teaching experience, passion for golf and past experiences of running summer schools all married together.
Anna’s motivation is to help grow the love of golf within juniors, while giving them the opportunity to experience travel, and adventure.
