DOUBLE gold winner Georgia Hall has been described as a ‘dream pupil’ by long term coach and PGA professional Martin Cummins.

The Madrid-based coach paid tribute to the talented youngster from Remedy Oak following her individual and team success as part of Team GB at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival in Sydney.

“Georgia has done amazingly,” said Cummins, who first coached Hall as a seven-year-old at Canford Magna.

“She is just a machine, very focused, dedicated and always wants to improve, works hard and is just a dream pupil.

“I first coached her at seven and then resumed coaching her four years ago in between me coaching full time on the European Tour for three years.

“I’m based in Madrid and we meet up regularly and she is just carrying on from last year when she climbed from 740th to fourth in the world rankings although that was a little bit of a false ranking because previously she hadn't been able to play in enough events.”

Cummins describes Georgia as easy to coach with a solution-based approach to their coach/pupil relationship.

“I try to keep things as simple as possible and most of the stuff we work on is pretty straightforward,” he added.

“Part of my role is to find solutions if there are any issues with her game. It is about keeping an open mind and thinking about the cause and effect and working backwards to identify problems.

“We use sports science while the technical side is relatively simple. With a player of her ability the secret is to keep her on the right path and motivated which is easy with Georgia because she has such a great attitude.”

Cummins is based in Madrid and set to start a new project in March by opening an academy with tour ace Ignacio Garrido.

“It’s an exciting time with the academy and some great facilities which we hope will keep Georgia on the straight and narrow,” he said.

And Cummins has high hopes for Georgia’s future and if attitude is anything to go by is predicting it will be a bright one.

“There have been many talented youngsters down the years that have been prospective superstars and not realised their potential but with her ability and attitude there is no reason why she can’t do whatever she wants in the game.”
