Rose Hall, Jamaica (February 2012) - Spencer Edwards, one of the best golf coaches in the UK joins Half Moon, A RockResort, as Director of Golf. He will often tell you that it was an injury that forced his move into coaching.  Drawing on experiences gained as a player and a true love for the game of golf, he soon perfected his skills and has become a highly recognized and sought after coach.
