Graham Bolton Biography

Graham Bolton is 37 years old and currently resides in Kewarra Beach, Cairns. Before moving to Cairns, Graham worked at Kingston Links and Ranfurlie golf courses in Melbourne. For the last three years Graham has worked at Paradise Palms Cairns.  Graham is an Australian trained PGA professional and is currently rated AAA by the PGA of Australia. (A “AAA” rating is classed as a senior golf professional).

On moving to Cairns from Melbourne in 2008 Graham has forged a name for himself as one of the coaches to see in the Cairns region. Graham teaches a blend of modern cutting edge swing theory with an eye for the needs of the student. One of Graham’s favourite lines in coaching is “if it’s not broken don’t fix it”.  Graham believes not all lessons need see the students swing pulled to pieces for the sake of conforming to a text book. “It’s more important to understand the goals of the student and work out a plan together to achieve them”.

Graham enjoys teaching all facets of the game from driving to irons, short game and putting. For the majority of players, Graham feels that a general approach working on these areas will lead to the greatest improvement in scoring and enjoyment of the game.  This method of coaching has seen Graham build a large following from the members and players at his former course Paradise Palms.

Graham counts himself as a student of the game and is constantly studying new techniques, methods and tools to improve his students.  Over the last four years alone Graham has learnt from some of the greats of modern coaching such as David Leadbetter, Peter Cowan and Stan Utley and Australian coaches Steve Bann and Dale Lynch.
