Coaching Philosophy
My golf coaching philosophy is simple. I will help you enjoy the game of golf, playing to your potential, whatever your starting point. Basic fundamentals are at the core to becoming successful at the game of golf. Every golfer is different and not one swing is the same, therefore I work within the golfer’s capabilities to help them achieve their goals. I do this by keeping it simple, as golf is a complex game and can be overwhelming for some, so I always keep things simple and straightforward.
Why Book With Me?
Golf coaching should be fun and rewarding, with every lesson designed to assess your game, highlight strengths and identify areas for improvement.
You will receive clear guidance on exactly what is happening in your swing, why it’s happening and what steps you need to take to improve while preventing bad habits.
Practice drills and tailored exercises are provided to help you improve all aspects of your game, making golf more enjoyable and helping you play your best.

FAQs
What can a golfer expect from a lesson with you?
My objective is to provide an all-round coaching experience that helps the golfer enjoy their game to the maximum. We’ll work out the areas to work on, i.e., technical, mental (or both), and give the golfer a clear roadmap to achieving their goals.
What aspect of the game do you specialise in coaching?
The areas of focus include club fitting, Capto putting, and course management. Additionally, in 2024, I aspire to become a Short Game Specialist and complete Capto Level 2 Training.
What technology do you use in your lessons and how do you believe it helps?
I use FlightScope on the driving range and Capto for putting. Both of these tools provide real-time data to the golfer, allowing them to experience and see the benefits of professional coaching during the lesson. This helps to build trust and confidence in the coaching team. After the lesson, all the follow-ups are uploaded to OnForm, a coaching app that facilitates easy communication and maximises the benefits for my students. It enables players to receive feedback and stay in touch with me between lessons.
What life skills do you believe golf teaches a person?
To make the most of each situation, live in the present and don’t dwell on what’s already done. Instead, focus on what’s in front of you right now and how you can make the very best of your situation.
What three words would best describe you as a coach?
Supportive, friendly and patient.
