Hunt’s victory at Machynys Peninsula marked the second time he had won the event and he wants to try and build on these tournament successes. Furthermore, at the age of 30, he feels time is on his side to make a go of it.
“That’s definitely been a factor in my thinking,” he said. “So have some of the results I’ve had this year, especially winning the Asbri Welsh National PGA Championship, and finishing second in the West region’s Order of Merit despite missing one of the events.
Hunt is due to leave St Mellons at the end of December and will spring into playing action immediately.
“I’ve got some pro-ams to play in at the start of the year,” he said, “and I have several other events lined up, notably the PGA Play-Offs in Cyprus in April, which could lead to some DP World Tour starts.

“Hopefully, I’m eligible to play in final Open qualifying in July after a top 10 finish in last year’s PGA Professional Championship, and I’ll do Q School for the DP World Tour in September.
“I will also try to defend my Welsh National PGA Championship and play in the regional Order of Merit events. And, not that I’ve really investigated it yet, but I might try do something in America as well.
“I’m also keen to continue coaching and, although it’s a shame to leave after two rewarding years, the time has come to step away from a golf club environment.
“In that respect I’ll miss the members who have supported me and wished me well, but I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.”
