A young golfer with old school values, Al Zorah PGA trainee Stefan Wears-Taylor is going places... At his own pace.

I Want To Stay Working In The Game Forever

Stefan Wears-Taylor needed a clear head to get the job done down the stretch in the UAE PGA’s flagship event. It’s clearly an innate trait, among other commendable on and off course characteristics, as the young South African considers his place in the bigger scheme of golfing things.

Wear-Taylor’s three-stroke win over Arabian Ranches’ Malcolm Young in last month’s UAE PGA Championship at Al Zorah capped a memorable debut season on the underrated regional circuit. It was a fourth victory for the 20-year-old since October following successes at Dubai Creek, The Track, Meydan Golf and Trump Dubai.

It all added up to the Al Zorah youngster finishing third on the season-long order of merit behind Creek pro Cennydd Mills and UAE PGA chief executive Steven Munro. More importantly, it vindicated a light bulb moment 20 months ago when Wears-Taylor was studying for a bachelors degree in education at North-West University in Potchefstroom and realised: “I couldn’t sit in a classroom any more.”

“I want to stay working in the game forever.”

Now into his second year of a PGA apprenticeship, that seems certain.

Get Set - Ball-striking success starts at address

AMATEURS OFTEN STAND OVER THE BALL with their feet too wide apart. I understand the appeal—they want to feel more stable throughout the swing, and a wider stance seems a logical way to achieve that.
