Teaching Philosophy

I believe great coaching doesn't have to be complicated. My approach is built on three things: clarity, simplicity, and results. When you come to me for a lesson, I want you to leave knowing exactly what to work on, why it matters, and — crucially — how to practise it effectively so the changes actually stick on the course. I use the best technology available — TrackMan launch monitor and SAM Putt Lab — not to overwhelm you with data, but to give us both a clear, objective picture of what's really happening with your swing or putting stroke. Evidence-based feedback removes the guesswork and helps us cut straight to what will make the biggest difference to your game. I work with golfers of all abilities, from complete beginners picking up a club for the very first time to competitive players looking to sharpen their game. Every lesson is tailored to you — your swing, your goals, and the way you learn best. Whether it's your full swing, short game, or putting, I'm here to help you improve in a way that's enjoyable, efficient, and built to last.

About the coach

I'm a full-time PGA Professional based at Cumberwell Park Golf Club in Wiltshire, with over 10 years of coaching experience and thousands of lessons delivered to golfers of all levels. Golf has been my passion since I first picked up a club at the age of four, and turning that passion into a career has been everything I hoped it would be.

I turned professional at 18 and completed my PGA Foundation Degree, finishing top of the West Region in all three years of training — an achievement recognised with three consecutive PGA UK West Region Assistant of the Year awards in 2017, 2018, and 2019. I also received the Blenkarne Cup, one of the region's most prestigious honours for assistant professionals, and finished 7th nationally in the PGA Assistant of the Year award upon qualifying.

Since qualifying, I've continued to invest in my education and now hold TrackMan Certified Professional status at both Level 1 and Level 2, as well as SAM Putt Lab Accredited Instructor status. I'm also a Titleist Staff Ambassador with a strong interest in custom fitting. As the Wiltshire County Coach, I'm deeply involved in the local golf community.

My coaching philosophy is simple: keep it clear, keep it practical, and make sure every golfer I work with understands not just what to change, but how to practise it so those changes translate onto the course. I coach from beginners to competitive players, and every session is tailored to the individual. If you're ready to improve your game with a coach who's genuinely invested in your progress, I'd love to work with you.

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.
