Prior to working at the Glen Golf Club, Mr Coull was Head Greenkeeper at Oldham Golf Club (1994-2000) and Greenkeeper at Luffness Golf Club (1991-1994).
As a keen golfer and a wholehearted supporter of the traditions of links golf, Mr Coull's experience is well suited to the New Course, which was laid out by Old Tom Morris in 1895 - probably the oldest 'new'course in the world.
The second course to be created at St Andrews Links, the New Course, a traditional links course, was built in response to rising demand and paid for by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, which uses it for many its members' tournaments. At a championship length of over 6700 yards, the par 71 course regularly hosts the Links Trophy and has also been used for Open Championship qualifying.
"Mr Coull impressed us with his commitment, enthusiasm and experience," said Gordon Moir, Links Superintendent at the Links Trust. "I am very much looking forward to working with him and am confident he will make a significant contribution to the Links."
