Alex has been the editor of NationalClubGolfer.com since 2017 and took on the magazine at the beginning of 2021.

A Devonian who enjoys wittering on about his south west roots, Alex moved north to join NCG after more than a decade in London, the last five of which were with ESPN.

Away from golf Alex follows Torquay United and spends too much time playing videogames or his guitar and not enough time practising his short game.
