About the coach
Hi I’m Ben, a PGA Professional from Elgin in the North East of Scotland.
I’ve been coaching for 6 years now and have coached beginners, juniors right the way up to scratch team players and Club Champions. It is something I take tremendous pride in and I’m now looking to Skillest to take my coaching to the next level. As a coach I’m enthusiastic, I try to keep sessions fun and interesting. I’m very adaptable but have always found simplistic methods of coaching to be most successful for the majority of people I’ve coached.
I love coaching people of all skill levels and the flexibility of Skillest will allow me to open up new avenues both locally to Elgin and worldwide.
I currently coach 40 juniors per week in group sessions so I am looking forward to opening this up to the next generation and making some real progress over the coming winter months.
I was always someone who struggled with the game until I had ‘that lesson’ with the right coach at the right time. I went from a 9 handicap to 1 in just over a year, as a coach that is my ultimate goal to find that secret bit of advice that is going to elevate your game!
In my final season before turning Pro in 2017 I won my second club championship at Maverston Golf Club and still hold the course record there currently. I played for the Nairn Dunbar and Maverston Scratch team. I have not been playing as much golf over the last couple of seasons as I’ve a young family but I am looking at setting a few goals for my own game next year again. I would love to know your ambitions and goals for 2026 and beyond!
Please feel free to message with any questions you may have or get booked in for a free analysis. I look forward to getting to know more about you and your game ⛳️

I've seen huge improvements to my golf since I started having lessons with Ben. He breaks down and simplifies the swing, gives great feedback and drills to work on for improvements.

Ben was clear and concise in his instruction. Great tips on elements of my swing to work on and gave some drills to work on to improve. Would definitely use again and happy to recommend to others.
