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.
