Teaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is simple and powerful: turn complexity into clarity. I believe every golfer deserves an approach that's built entirely around them — their individual movement patterns, physical capabilities, and learning style. There's no one-size-fits-all method here. If something isn't clicking one way, I'll find another way to get the message across, and I never give up on a student. I take a fact-based approach to coaching — I encourage my players to track on-course statistics so we can identify real areas for improvement and map out a clear, purposeful path forward. When needed, I collaborate with trusted physical therapists and strength & conditioning coaches to make sure we're working in line with your body, not against it. Simplicity is key. Everything we do together should be clear, easy to follow, and rooted in purpose. Whether you're a complete beginner, a junior chasing county success, or an experienced club golfer looking to sharpen your game, my goal is for every session to feel like an elite coaching experience — built entirely around you. I also believe in consistency and accountability. That's why I offer blended coaching formats — combining in-person sessions with regular video feedback and remote support — so your development doesn't stop when you leave the lesson tee. I offer a free consultation for all new students, because I want to understand your game and your goals before we even begin.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Professional with over 15 years of experience helping golfers at every level unlock their true potential. From complete beginners picking up a club for the first time, to juniors competing at county level, to club champions and professionals — I've worked with them all, and I love every part of it.

My coaching is grounded in personalisation, data, and simplicity. I use TrackMan 4 launch monitor technology in all sessions to ensure every piece of feedback is accurate and meaningful. I'm also US Kids Golf certified, with a genuine passion for junior development — and a real track record of turning young players new to the game into county tournament competitors.

For years I was based at The Essex Golf Room, building a community of golfers and coaching students across Essex and Surrey. I've recently made an exciting move to Devon with my family, and I'm evolving my coaching setup to be more flexible and far-reaching than ever — whether you're local and want to meet on the range, or you're on the other side of the world and just need a reliable coach in your corner.

I offer hybrid programmes (monthly in-person sessions backed by video analysis and remote support), fully online programmes with regular swing reviews and tailored drills, and one-off sessions for a fresh technical perspective. I also offer a free consultation for every new student — because the best coaching relationship starts with a real conversation about your game and your goals.

Frequently asked questions

What is an online golf lesson?

An online golf lesson is a way of learning golf skills and techniques from a coach or instructor through the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. On Skillest, you can get private instruction with an elite golf coach without even leaving your home. Just record your golf swing and send it to your coach, along with any goals, questions, or other information that will help your coach create the right plan for you.

What are the benefits of an online lesson using Skillest?

Online golf lessons using Skillest offer many benefits, such as convenience, affordability, flexibility, and access to the largest selection of the most talented golf coaches in one place. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. When you get a lesson on Skillest, you don’t need to schedule a time or drive to your lesson. You can just record your swing and message your coach whenever you have questions.

How do I receive feedback from my coach?

You will receive feedback from your coach through the Skillest app. Your coach will record their own videos with their analysis as well as additional drills to work on and send them back to you inside the lesson. You can watch your coach’s analysis, which may include video, audio, text, or drawings and see the changes and improvements they suggest for your swing. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

What are Courses?

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.
