Mitchell Newport

Mitchell is Millbrook's Assistant Professional/Advanced Golf Instructor. He has been a PGA Member for 4 years, starting his traineeship in 2019, soon after completing an accounting degree in his hometown of Nelson.

He prides himself on being a great communicator, which helps foster a clear understanding of what the player is wanting from the session, as well as extracting the best golf out of all players. Seeing the reaction of a player noticing the positive changes during a coaching session is one of Mitchell's favourite parts of being a golf coach.

Mitchell is a firm believer in ensuring each golfer has sound fundamentals before delving into any technical aspects of the golf swing.

"Above all, I want to help each golfer get as much enjoyment as possible out of this great game." - Mitchell
