Teaching Philosophy
I believe the single biggest problem holding most golfers back isn't their swing — it's information overload. Too many tips, too many swing thoughts, and too much conflicting advice leaves players paralysed over the ball. My approach is simple and direct: cut through the noise, identify what's actually causing your ball flight, and give you a clear, actionable plan to fix it. No technical jargon. No 47 things to think about. Just straightforward, purposeful coaching that gets results. Every lesson I deliver — whether in person at Carbrook Golf Club or via video analysis online — includes a detailed breakdown of the 'why' behind what's happening in your swing. I want you to understand your game, not just copy a position. I pair that knowledge with personalised drills you can take straight to the practice area or do at home, so your improvement continues long after the lesson ends. I work with golfers of all abilities, from complete beginners picking up a club for the first time to experienced players chasing a scratch handicap. My goal is always the same: help you become a more confident, consistent, and fearless golfer who practices with purpose and enjoys the game more.
About the coach
I'm a PGA Accredited Golf Coach and PGA Qualified Game Development Coach based in Queensland, Australia, with over 25 years of experience playing and studying the game — including time as a playing professional. I currently coach in person at Carbrook Golf Club on the beautiful south-east Queensland coast, and online for golfers all around the world.
My coaching career began after many years at Windaroo Lakes Golf Club before joining the Carbrook Golf Club team in August 2022, where I serve as the club's dedicated Development Coach. Whether it's individual lessons, group sessions, junior pennant teams, or ladies' get-into-golf programs, I love helping every kind of golfer improve and enjoy the game more.
Beyond in-person coaching, I've built a growing online coaching platform that has seen me complete hundreds of video lessons with students across the globe. I pride myself on a fast 24–48 hour turnaround so students can get back to practising straight away. My online courses cover everything from the fundamentals of putting and the short game through to mastering bunker shots — each built around bite-sized, engaging video content with real drills and strategies.
I've also created The Setup Template, a lightweight training aid designed to help golfers build a consistent, repeatable setup — because a great setup is the foundation everything else is built on.
If you're tired of spinning your wheels and want to start shooting lower scores, I'd love to work with you.
