Kenton Wright

Managing Director at East Yorkshire Golf

With 40 years as a PGA member, Kenton has dedicated his life to the game of golf, combining a love of the outdoors with a successful career as a coach, club professional, and now as the head of a thriving golf travel business. A long-time supporter of the Melanoma Fund, he understands first-hand the risks of prolonged sun exposure.

In 2015, he was diagnosed with melanoma after spotting a changing mole on his forearm. Thankfully caught early, the experience transformed his approach to sun safety. Kenton now uses his story to raise awareness across the golf community, promoting daily protection, regular skin checks, and early action — before it’s too late.
