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.

Testimonials
“I first spoke to Martin about my dreaded slice. From the start, he explained that building confidence is just as important as improving technique. I had been playing regularly for a while but knew I needed some expert guidance to take my game further.
Martin’s coaching is calm, knowledgeable and easy to follow.”

“Each lesson gives me a couple of simple takeaways to work on, with every small improvement building towards a much bigger result. I have never felt overwhelmed and there is no doubt my golf is better because of it.
My driver is now back in the bag, going straighter and further than ever, and the putting lesson I had with Martin completely changed the way I approach the greens. I only wish I had started lessons sooner. I would thoroughly recommend him.”
Working with Martin has been a fantastic experience. From the very first lesson, he focused on the changes that would genuinely help me improve without overcomplicating my swing.
His coaching is clear, patient and practical. Martin explains what is happening in the swing in a way that is easy to understand, then gives simple drills and feels that make the improvements stick.”

“My consistency and ball striking have improved noticeably and, just as importantly, I have far more confidence on the course.
What really sets Martin apart is how invested he is in your progress. He takes the time to understand your game, your goals and the way you learn, so every lesson feels personal and purposeful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their golf, whether they are just starting out or aiming to take their game to the next level.”
“I joined Horsham Golf in 2023 having only played a handful of casual rounds. During my first solo evening round I met Martin on the course. His friendly, approachable manner immediately put me at ease and, after a quick chat about his coaching, I booked my first lesson.
The complimentary swing analysis for new members was a real eye-opener.”

“Using video, Martin showed me exactly what was happening in my swing and explained where I could improve in a clear, straightforward way. From that first session, I knew I had found the right coach.
Over the past two and a half years, my handicap has come down from over 22 to 16.7, including a five-shot reduction since January. I now feel confident with every club in the bag, especially the driver, and I am enjoying my golf more than ever. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone looking to improve their game.”
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.
