George Cooper | National Club Golfer

Author: George Cooper

George Cooper

George Cooper

Fun Fact:

George once fell out of a buggy being driven by his dad, who continued for at least another 100 yards before he realised. George still has nightmares about it.

Handicap:

George joined NCG straight from the University of Groningen and covers all the things we think you want to read about from golf’s various tours. He also looks after our social media channels.

Born and bred in Buckinghamshire, George enjoys football – though he doesn’t support a specific team – and athletics. His marathon PB is a ludicrously impressive 2 hours and 56 minutes.
