About the coach
This is coaching for golfers who want progress that actually holds up under pressure and lasts in the long term.
If you are putting in the effort but your results feel inconsistent, or you’re stuck searching for the next swing thought rather than building something that stands up over time, you’re in the right place.
I work with committed players who seek clarity, structure and accountability.
What Makes This Different:
I don’t treat a golf swing as a fixed model to copy over and over, it’s a task-specific solution. We build a predictable, consistent baseline pattern and then we add tools that allow you to adapt to varying lies, slopes, weather conditions etc.
How you practice is designed with clear intent. Where you place your attention and how you make decisions on the golf course is a huge factor in your performance and your day to day practice. The aim is simple develop the ability to perform when it matters most.
Who I work with:
I coach players of all levels who are committed to transitioning to higher levels of performance. In recent years the majority of my time is spent with elite amateurs, collegiate players, professionals, high performing juniors and serious club golfers.
The requirement is not skill level or handicap, it’s a willingness to engage fully in the process we put in place.
My Background:
I began my PGA qualification and began coaching in 2014 at Ireland’s leading academy, Johnny Foster Golf, spending eight years there.
I later worked as a High Performance Coach with Altus Performance in Shenzhen, China until Summer 2024..
I’ve coached national champions, international representatives, collegiate athletes, and professionals competing on the DP World Tour, Challenge Tour, and Asian Tour while continuing to work closely with ambitious juniors and club golfers.
What Next:
If you value long-term development, clear structure in how you train and coaching that prioritises understanding and consistency over reactive fixes, this is where the work starts.

Great Lesson with Chris. He focused on Building on what was already there in terms of swing, adjusting things in a simple and understandable way so that I could get the most out of my golf swing. Afterwards, through the feedback and videos that were shared I can already see how small changes make a big difference overall and how I can put those changes into practice on the range and on-course. Very good value for money also and would definitely recommend Chris

Another great lesson with Chris. He was able to quickly pinpoint areas that needed changed, and once they were changed, there was noticeable improvements my in swing path, club face and contact with the ball.

Been working with Chris over the winter and cannot speak highly enough of him. He has an easy going and professional approach to teaching with a nack of making the complicated seem simple. Great teacher and a great guy.

Chris is a fantastic instructor! He explains things clearly and simply. After just one lesson I came away with more confidence on what Im working on.

Ive worked with Chris for the past number of years. Rather than a quick fix solution, Chris takes a longer term view, focusing on tendencies and patterns in how a student swings the club. My average score has came down in this period, due to improved technique as well as better decision making. Chris was able to help diagnose low hanging opportunities to improve scoring by analysing my stats. Chris is knowledgable about the game and clearly passionate about what he does. Each session is enjoyable and he ensures a student leaves with clarity on what to practice, rather than just beating balls at the range. Thanks for all the help to date.
