About the coach

An effective and complete approach to golf instruction. Clear communication and functional drills to heighten the golfers awareness of where they are, need to be, and how to get there.

Hi I’m Patrick, a golf coach based in Northern Ireland. I believe the golf swing is inherently complex and to try and simplify it would be ineffective and incomplete. That’s not to say coaching approaches and change should not be simple. Like you I am on a journey to further develop skills. Through further education and gaining coaching experience, I’m looking to help make the golfers journey towards positive long lasting changes seamless and enjoyable. Check out my lessons and feel free to reach out!
