Teaching Philosophy

My coaching approach is fully player-centred and focused on long-term development. I believe every golfer deserves a swing, game plan, and journey that's uniquely tailored to their own goals — because there's no universal fix in this game, and I'd never claim there is. I coach methodically, laying down strong foundational skills and core concepts that support lasting progress. I don't follow a rigid method; instead, I use a flexible system that adapts to each golfer's needs. At its heart is a predictive, ball-flight-based model built on reverse engineering — understanding where the ball goes and working backwards to fix the root cause. Whether you're a total beginner or an aspiring professional, I focus on making cause and effect simple to understand, refining your setup and impact fundamentals, and providing a clear, structured path forward. Alongside technical work, I put strong emphasis on performance practice, statistical tracking, smart course management, and mental skills — because the real goal is consistently shooting lower scores on the course. I use Trackman IO technology and video analysis to give you objective, data-backed feedback every session. Every programme is thoughtfully structured, highly collaborative, and built around clear milestones. Above all, I care about the person behind the swing — and that personal connection is what drives real results.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Trainee Assistant Professional (Year 3) based at Herons Reach Golf Resort in Blackpool, England,

My golf journey began at Houldsworth Golf Club in Manchester, where I grew up in Reddish, Stockport, and fell in love with the game. Over more than 20 years of competitive amateur golf, I built a record that included winning the prestigious Eden Tournament at St Andrews and setting two course records at Houldsworth Golf Club — a 62, nine under par. I turned professional in 2023 with a +3 handicap, bringing real, hard-earned experience of what it takes to perform at a high amateur level. I know what it means to go low, and I bring that knowledge directly into my coaching. My sessions are built around GC Quad launch monitor technology, video analysis, and structured coaching plans, giving every golfer, from first-time beginner to competitive player objective data and a clear path to improvement. My coaching is comprehensive: full-swing technique, ball-striking, short game, practice planning, course strategy, and mental game development. Everything is personalised, purposeful, and focused on measurable progress. If you're serious about unlocking your potential and shooting lower scores, I'd love to work with you.
