John started playing aged 12 at Shawhill GC Chorley and went straight from school to work at Shawhill under Ian Evans. He then worked at Hurlston Hall from 1994 to 1997 and then was fortunate enough to receive sponsorship from Kammac plc which enabled him to play full time from 1997 to 2000 during which time he became PGA Qualified.

Since joining Huyton in 2000, he has qualified for Club Professionals Tournament four times, winning once at Mottram Hall with a score of 4 under. He was then invited, with two others, to represent England in the European Club Professionals Championship in Sardinia.

He won the Regional qualifier for The Open in 2003 at Ormskirk and reached the Final Qualifier in 2004 as well as winning various PGA Tournaments, Pro Ams, Alliances and Interclub Tournaments and is currently on the Lancashire PGA and North Region PGA Committees. He is the course record holder at Darwen.

John keeps a very well stocked shop which, when he is teaching or playing, is looked after by his two assistants Bryan Joelson-Mulhall and John O'Neill.

John is an excellent teacher and is available for lessons for members and non-members alike. He can be contacted on 0151 489 2022 or by email fisherjohn1@aol.com
