Teaching Philosophy

My approach to coaching is built on one core belief: every golfer deserves a personalised, evidence-based pathway to improvement. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all methods. Over the years, I've invested deeply in my own education — training with some of the best minds in European Tour coaching, earning multiple TPI certifications, completing the ECGA Elite Performance programme, and attending international golf coaching conferences. That continuous learning directly benefits every student I work with. I take a holistic, 360-degree view of the game. Whether we're working on your full swing mechanics, short game technique, wedge play, or the mental and physical side of performance, I want to understand you as a golfer first. I adapt my communication and teaching style to suit how you learn best — because the most technically correct advice means nothing if it doesn't land. I've competed at a high level myself, turning professional in 2013 and winning on tour, so I understand what it takes to perform under pressure. That experience shapes how I coach. I know the difference between a range swing and a tournament swing, and I help students bridge that gap. Whether you're a complete beginner, a club-level competitor, or an ambitious player chasing a tour card, my goal is the same: to help you play the best golf of your life.

About the coach

I'm a Professional with over 20 years in the game and a coaching career that spans the full spectrum — from introducing complete beginners to golf, to working with elite competitors and some of the world's most high-profile private clients.

I grew up in Bromley, England, and earned a golf scholarship to Belmont Abbey College in the USA, where I became the #1 ranked NCAA Division II golfer and a 2x All-American. I turned professional in 2013 and went on to compete internationally, securing two professional wins. After competing, I transitioned into full-time coaching in 2019 — and it's the best decision I've ever made.

One of the most formative chapters of my career was serving as Director of Golf and Instruction at the exclusive Canouan Island resort in St Vincent and the Grenadines, where I coached some of the world's most successful individuals in a world-class environment. I've since returned to England, where I coach across London and Surrey, including at North Downs Golf Club, where I operate a Trackman golf studio.

What sets me apart is the calibre of mentors I've learned from: current and former European Tour coaches including Hugh Marr (20-year Tour coach), Andreas Kali (coach to Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard), Jonathan Wallet (10-year Tour coach), Alex Buckner (European Tour short game), and James Jankowski (European Tour putting expert) — plus a broader coaching tree that includes disciples of David Leadbetter and Jim Suttie. I hold multiple TPI certifications, the Wedge Matrix certification under James Ridyard, the Scott Cowx 6.0 certification, and ECGA Elite Performance Levels 1 and 2.

I offer in-person lessons, online video coaching, corporate golf days, group clinics, and bespoke worldwide golf trips and Pro-Am experiences.

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 on skillest.com, and in the Skillest app if you use it. 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 and chat with them. You can review your feedback and track your progress anytime, in your browser or in 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?

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.
