About the coach

I am a Fully Qualified PGA Professional based at The Manchester Golf Academy within The Manchester Golf Club. I coach full time to a wide variety of clients from absolute beginners to fellow Professionals.

My coaching philosophy is built on unlocking each golfer’s unique potential by identifying and correcting the root causes of swing issues. By focusing on the pivot—the body moving the arms, the arms moving the club, and the club moving the ball—I help players create sustainable improvements.
​
Personalised goal-setting is central to my approach. I craft custom roadmaps based on each player’s needs, empowering them to take ownership of their game and evolve into the best version of themselves. By challenging players just beyond their current abilities, I encourage growth, resilience, and continuous progress.
​
With a deep understanding of swing mechanics and a passion for teaching, I combine evidence-based strategies with cutting-edge technology to deliver measurable, lasting improvements. My ultimate goal is to foster independence, equipping players to self-assess and adjust, making me a redundant part of their development.
​
In every coaching relationship, I aim to create an elite, player-centered experience where accountability, mastery, and excellence are constantly pursued.
