At RED Industries, we are proud to support the next generation of golfing talent. Among those is Harrison Ottley-Woodd, a passionate and driven 24-year-old golfer from Cheltenham, England, who is making waves in the sport. His journey is one of dedication, perseverance, and inspiration—a journey we are thrilled to be a part of.

A Golfing Journey Inspired by Family

Harrison’s love for golf was ignited by none other than his father. Weekends spent on the golf course quickly became more than just a hobby. By age 14, Harrison achieved an impressive scratch handicap, marking a significant milestone in his young career. His father’s promise of a coveted set of MIURA blades spurred him on, a reward he earned faster than anyone anticipated.

Achievements and Ambitions

Reaching a scratch handicap at such a young age stands as one of Harrison’s proudest accomplishments, but he’s far from finished. In the short term, he aims to win a golf tournament and qualify for the Asian or DP TOUR. Long-term, his sights are set on playing alongside the best on the DP or PGA Tour—a dream he is working tirelessly toward.

A Day in the Life: Precision and Practice

Harrison’s dedication is evident in his daily routine, which blends swing work, gym sessions, and targeted golf course practice. His focus on perfecting his technique and understanding data helps him make smart, decisive moves on the course. With every day of practice, Harrison inches closer to his goal of tournament success.

Overcoming Challenges

The road to success is rarely without obstacles, and Harrison’s journey has been no exception. At one point, he followed advice that led to unnecessary changes in his swing, setting back his progress. However, these challenges taught him valuable lessons about trusting his instincts and taking ownership of his game—a mindset that has been key to his recent progress.

The Power of Support

None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of family, friends, and sponsors like RED Industries. Our sponsorship allows Harrison to compete in tournaments and cover essential costs such as entry fees, accommodation, and travel. We believe in his potential and are excited to help him chase his dreams.

Looking Ahead: The Next 12 Months

The future holds exciting prospects for Harrison as he prepares to compete in Clutch Pro Tour events and various Q schools, with hopes of racking up multiple wins. His passion for playing tournaments outside the UK drives his ambition as he continues to focus on process-related goals and build his skills.

Life Beyond Golf

When he’s not on the golf course, Harrison enjoys time in the gym, running, and unwinding with his girlfriend. He’s also a football enthusiast and an avid gamer, finding balance through these hobbies. Fun fact: Harrison plays with one-length golf clubs, a unique technique inspired by Bryson DeChambeau.

Words of Wisdom for Young Golfers

For anyone following in his footsteps, Harrison has simple but powerful advice: “Don’t give up during the bad times; one day it will all be worth it.” His message of patience and perseverance is one that resonates far beyond the fairways. And when it comes to advice? He recommends always asking “why” and trusting yourself above all.

At RED Industries, we are incredibly proud to sponsor Harrison Ottley-Woodd as he continues his exciting journey. We look forward to seeing where his determination and talent will take him next!
