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.

Ben is really thorough, and communicated stats, swing changes and everything else really well and made sure it was understood and had reasoning behind. Very insightful for me personally.

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.

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.
