Hey! I'm Aaron
I'm a Year 2 PGA Associate based in New South Wales, Australia, and the founder of Aaron Cameron Golf.
Back in 2020, I decided that enough was enough and I was going to go all in and shoot for dream that I had dreamt about since I was a child.
Sat on the sofa watching the footie and drinking beer on a Saturday afternoon, I started to reflect on where I was in my life at that point. I was overweight, unhappy, and despite working with a golf coach to improve my golf skills, I knew that I would never make it to where I had dreamt if I didn't change.
That day, it was like a light bulb moment. After several beers and having some time to think about things, I got up out of the chair, walked to the kitchen and poured all of the beer down the sink. That moment I promised myself that things would change, that I would change, that I would finally take control of my life and point it in the direction that I wanted to travel in.
At that stage I didn't know how I would do it. I didn't exactly know what I needed to do but I knew I needed to do something. That was the turning point.

MY TRANSFORMATION
"I'd always dreamed of being a professional golfer but I needed to get my health right first."
Getting fit and healthy was the first step that I knew how to take, I knew after years of drinking and eating all of the wrong things that I wasn't in the best of shapes, not to add to that the doctor's comments whenever I went to see him. The first step was physical but I also needed to mentally prepare myself and those around me for what would be one of the biggest decisions that I have had ever had to make this far in my life. With the support of my family, I decided that I would attempt to lose weight as much as possible in preparation for having life-changing weight loss surgery.
In October 2020 I underwent weight loss surgery after losing 44kg myself (unsupervised) through training and watching what I ate and drank. Surgery has lots of positives but it's not for the fainthearted as many who have been through it might tell you; the weight dropped off, I was feeling better about things, but mentally it was a struggle. Despite this I had gotten over the biggest hurdle, now it was to continue to look after myself as the surgeon had advised, and to decide what happens next for me. This is where the journey to the PGA began...
July 2020 - Lightbulb moment - At my highest weight, 222kg
October 2020 - Lost 44kg through diet and exercise changes (unsupervised), 180kg
October 2020 - Weight loss surgery
2021 - Dropped to 150kg, continuing diet and exercise routines
2022 - Application submitted and accepted for the PGA Associate Program
2023 - Year 1 of PGA Associate Program
2024 - Reached a healthy weight of 96kg and feeling good about life
2024 and beyond - The journey continues...
