Martin Forster already leads a busy life as a PGA teaching professional at four Northumberland clubs and working for a custom fitting company.
And it's going to get even more hectic after his appointment as PGA North Region captain.
But Forster, 44 at the end of the month, is unfazed about a packed schedule which includes a record eight Order of Merit tournaments.
"I'm hoping I can find the time to attend most of them and use my prerogative as captain and enter them, too.
"It's fantastic to see the region doing so well and I fully endorse the decision to designate three pro-ams as ranking events," he said, referring to the Poker Stars Manx Classic, the Kerr Investments Cumbria Classic and the Rocar Moores Fixby Classic.
"We had a similar one-pro-one-amateur format last year in the North East and it went down well. It was friendly and the amateurs loved it."
Father-of-two Forster is also relishing the opportunity to add to his one regional merit victory - the long defunct Woodham Classic in 1992.
"The weather was miserable but I still finished 12-under-par," he recalled.
He also won the Northumberland and Durham Open at Ramside in 1999 and more than 20 pro-ams. And among his five course records was a seven-under-par 65 at Slaley Hall's Hunting course in 1995.
"I was pleased with that because it had only just opened," he said.
Forster, whose brother David is also a PGA professional, started his career as an assistant at Hexham where he played as a boy, 22 years ago.
"When my boss Ian Waugh left in 1992 I got his job," he added.
But with teaching his main forte, he stood down in 2006 to coach at Tynedale, Bellingham, Allendale and Alston.
Forster was also NE/NW captain in 2003.
