Hi, I’m Simon Cullen, a passionate golf coach and club repair specialist right here in Kilkenny, Ireland.
Meet Simon Cullen – Your PGA Golf Professional in Kilkenny
My journey with golf began at 8 years old, and now at 26, that childhood passion has evolved into a career dedicated to helping others discover the joy and satisfaction that comes with playing great golf. Currently pursuing my PGA professional qualification, I bring nearly two decades of golfing experience and genuine enthusiasm to every golf lesson and club repair service I provide.

Alongside coaching, my Grip and Rip Golf service ensures your equipment is perfectly matched to your game, from expert regripping to intricate repairs and custom fitting.

I’m here to help you gain confidence, improve your play, and truly get more out of your game—one swing, one lesson, and one perfectly tuned club at a time.
Core Values
A Lifelong Passion for Golf
What started as a young boy’s fascination with the game has grown into comprehensive expertise as a golf instructor and club repair specialist. My deep understanding of golf swing mechanics, course management, and equipment optimization comes from years of dedicated study, practice, and hands-on experience working with golfers across all skill levels.
As a Kilkenny-based golf professional, I’ve had the privilege of working with everyone from nervous beginners taking their first golf lessons to seasoned players looking to break through performance plateaus. This diverse experience has taught me that effective golf instruction requires more than technical knowledge – it demands patience, clear communication, and the ability to adapt teaching methods to each individual’s learning style.
Beyond golf instruction, my passion extends to golf equipment through Grip and Rip Golf, my specialized club repair and fitting service. I treat every golf club as if it were my own, providing meticulous attention to detail whether you need a simple regrip, custom adjustments, or complete equipment restoration. This comprehensive approach ensures that your equipment supports and enhances the skills we develop during your golf lessons.
Serving the Golf Community
Based in Kilkenny, I’m proud to serve the golfing communities throughout Laois, Carlow, Waterford, and Tipperary. Whether you’re looking for regular golf lessons, one-time golf instruction, or professional golf club repairs, I’m committed to providing exceptional service that helps you get more enjoyment and success from your time on the course.
Every golf lesson I teach and every club I repair is an opportunity to share my passion for this incredible game and help fellow golfers experience the satisfaction that comes with continuous improvement.
