About Maria

A professional who truly lives and breathes golf.

Maria Tulley is a highly respected PGA Professional, accomplished player, and dedicated coach known for her passion, technical expertise, and inspiring journey through the world of women's golf.

Born in Cornwall, England, Maria discovered golf at the age of 11 and quickly established herself as one of the region's standout young talents. She won multiple county junior titles at both Under-15 and Under-18 level and went on to earn selection for the England Under-16 Elite Squad, marking her as one of the most promising golfers of her generation.

Maria turned professional in 2005, beginning the PGA's three-year Foundation Degree programme while continuing to compete across the UK and Europe. She qualified as a full PGA Professional in 2008, combining her natural coaching ability with a continued ambition to progress as a tournament player.

Her standout achievement came in 2019, when she was selected to represent Great Britain & Ireland in the inaugural Women's PGA Cup in Austin, Texas — a prestigious honour recognising the top female PGA professionals from each nation.

Maria continues to compete in professional events, with the long-term goal of returning to LET or LPGA Qualifying School and ultimately securing a place in major championships such as the AIG Women's Open. Her journey as a golfer is defined by determination, resilience, and a deep love for the game.

"Another fantastic lesson with Maria today — always such good fun! I was struggling with my iron play due to issues with my back. Maria helped me adapt my swing to hit the ball with height and distance, but without pain. I love Maria's training style."

"Yet another eye-opening lesson with Maria, this time on bunker play. Maria patiently took me step by step through the process and by the end I was hitting high, soft landing shots from different lies. The clarity with which Maria explains things is outstanding."

Frustrated golfer in red Red-to-Blue mindset state
R2B Mindset

From chaos to clarity.

The Red-to-Blue mindset — made famous by the New Zealand All Blacks — helps players recognise when their thinking becomes emotional and reactive, then shift into a calm, clear, productive state.

Red State

Frustrated, tense, distracted, reactive.

Blue State

Calm, composed, purposeful, present.

How It Applies to Golf

Stay calm after a poor shot

Instead of spiralling into frustration, golfers learn to reset quickly and move on with purpose.

Manage the space between shots

Golf gives you time to think — sometimes too much. Red-to-Blue keeps thoughts controlled and productive.

Enhance your pre-shot routine

Shifting to blue gets players back into a steady rhythm: breathing well, choosing the right shot, committing fully.

Perform better under pressure

Whether competition golf or personal goals, staying calm and present directly influences results.
