About the coach

As a proud member of the PGA of Australia with an Advanced Certification in Coaching, I bring years of experience helping golfers of all levels unlock their potential from juniors and beginners to elite amateurs and professionals.

I specialise in short game development, full swing fundamentals, and course management, blending technical knowledge with practical, results-driven strategies.

Every golfer is different, so I focus on creating personalised coaching plans that build confidence and elevate performance both on and off the course.

A Greg Norman Medallist and former touring professional on the PGA Tour of Australasia, I understand the demands of high-level competition and what it takes to achieve meaningful, lasting improvement.

My coaching is shaped by these experiences, offering players insight and structure whether you're chasing your first handicap goal or preparing for tournament play.

At Royal Canberra Golf Club, I lead a range of in-person programs including junior pathways, women’s golf initiatives, and school partnerships and now bring that same passion and structure to my online coaching on Skillest.

With flexible communication, video analysis, drills, and feedback, I work closely with each student to ensure clarity, progression, and confidence.

Whether you're building solid fundamentals or chasing elite performance, I’m here to help you play your best golf.

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. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. 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. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

What are Courses?

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.
