Jack McDonald PGA Assistant Trainee

Currently a PGA Trainee at Whitecraigs Golf Club. My golfing journey began at age 5, and from that early introduction, I developed a deep and lasting enthusiasm for the sport.   

I bring over nine years of experience competing at the highest levels of professional golf, including the Challenge Tour and DP World Tour. During my playing career, I claimed victory on the EuroPro Tour in 2019 at Newmachar Golf Club, secured three Tartan Pro Tour tournament wins, and topped the season long Tartan Pro Tour rankings in 2022. I also recorded five top 10 finishes on the Challenge Tour between 2017 and 2025, highlighted by a career best runner up finish in Finland in 2023. In 2024, a personal dream came true by competing in The Open Championship at Royal Troon.   

My amateur career included representing Europe in the Palmer Cup and Great Britain & Ireland in the Walker Cup, two of the most prestigious team events in international amateur golf.  

Having navigated both worlds of golf as a passionate hobby and a demanding profession. I’m uniquely positioned to help hobbyists grasp the variations of playing smarter and managing their game effectively, all while encouraging them to enjoy the journey. At the same time, I support competitive players in managing pressure and adopting the mindset of a professional, drawing from my own tour experience.  

Now transitioning into coaching, I aim to bring high-performance insights to players of all levels. With deep expertise in course management, scoring strategy, and the mental demands of competition, I’m passionate about helping golfers unlock their full potential through a tour-proven approach.
