About the coach
This is coaching for golfers who want progress that actually holds up under pressure and lasts in the long term.
If you are putting in the effort but your results feel inconsistent, or you’re stuck searching for the next swing thought rather than building something that stands up over time, you’re in the right place.
I work with committed players who seek clarity, structure and accountability.
What Makes This Different:
I don’t treat a golf swing as a fixed model to copy over and over, it’s a task-specific solution. We build a predictable, consistent baseline pattern and then we add tools that allow you to adapt to varying lies, slopes, weather conditions etc.
How you practice is designed with clear intent. Where you place your attention and how you make decisions on the golf course is a huge factor in your performance and your day to day practice. The aim is simple develop the ability to perform when it matters most.
Who I work with:
I coach players of all levels who are committed to transitioning to higher levels of performance. In recent years the majority of my time is spent with elite amateurs, collegiate players, professionals, high performing juniors and serious club golfers.
The requirement is not skill level or handicap, it’s a willingness to engage fully in the process we put in place.
My Background:
I began my PGA qualification and began coaching in 2014 at Ireland’s leading academy, Johnny Foster Golf, spending eight years there.
I later worked as a High Performance Coach with Altus Performance in Shenzhen, China until Summer 2024..
I’ve coached national champions, international representatives, collegiate athletes, and professionals competing on the DP World Tour, Challenge Tour, and Asian Tour while continuing to work closely with ambitious juniors and club golfers.
What Next:
If you value long-term development, clear structure in how you train and coaching that prioritises understanding and consistency over reactive fixes, this is where the work starts.

Chris is a fantastic instructor! He explains things clearly and simply. After just one lesson I came away with more confidence on what Im working on.

Ive worked with Chris for the past number of years. Rather than a quick fix solution, Chris takes a longer term view, focusing on tendencies and patterns in how a student swings the club. My average score has came down in this period, due to improved technique as well as better decision making. Chris was able to help diagnose low hanging opportunities to improve scoring by analysing my stats. Chris is knowledgable about the game and clearly passionate about what he does. Each session is enjoyable and he ensures a student leaves with clarity on what to practice, rather than just beating balls at the range. Thanks for all the help to date.

Working with Chris has been a game-changer for my golf. From the very first session he gave me a clear, structured plan of what I needed to work on and why. His explanations are incredibly easy to understand, and the videos and notes he provides after each lesson make it simple to stay on track between sessions. In just a short space of time Ive already seen huge improvements and finally feel like Im practising with purpose instead of guessing. Chriss attention to detail, communication, and genuine interest in helping you improve is second to none. Couldnt recommend Chris highly enough first class coach.

Working with Chris over the past number of months has been hugely insightful. Chris is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the golf swing and this comes across in our lessons. What Ive valued most is how he breaks things down into simple tasks with simple instructions in order to help me stick to my plan. My practice sessions now have added purpose and structure which have helped me remain consistent in my approach to improving and becoming a better player as I move into 2026.

Chris approach really simplifies things. He was able to set out a plan for making some necessary changes in a structure that made sense. You leave the lesson with a clear and easy to follow practice plan equipping you to put the effort in yourself between lessons.
