One of Wayne’s early students was his brother Aaron who like his brother showed great promise as a young golfer.  Aaron went on to represent his club (Douglas), his province and his country.  He won the Irish Schools Strokeplay with Douglas Community School in 2003 and won the Irish Boys in 2004. In the same year he represented GB&I at several boys competitions and won the prestigious Jaques Leglise Trophy.  After a few years of college in Southeastern Louisiana, Aaron followed in his older brother’s footsteps and headed on a path to become a PGA professional.  After a few years working in Baton Rouge CC, last year he moved north to Kentuky last year, to the University of Louisville where he is a full time coach on their golf programme.
