About the coach
As a golf coach with extensive experience competing at every level of the game and thousands of hours of teaching experience, I have the ability to help students overcome any issue they may be facing on the course.
I believe that every golfer is unique and therefore, I don't teach a specific method, instead I focus on teaching the golfer. My approach is to ensure that everything from a chip shot to a driver shot should always relate back to helping the student achieve their desired impact conditions.
I am constantly seeking new and innovative ways to improve my coaching methods and the drills I use with my students are among the most advanced in the world, designed to accelerate the change as quickly as possible.
My areas of specialty include:
Long Game: I have a deep understanding of the the swing. I have a systematic approach that makes the decision making calculated and precise. I’m always working back to my 3 key areas:
- Strike
- Start line
- Curve
-
Your whole blueprint will be built around having a tight shot dispersion with predictable curve.
-
-
Short game: My goal is to give you a very high short game IQ which will help you access the lie, choose the correct shot and execute it under pressure. Learning shots is an excellent way to develop your short game.

As a complete beginner, Ive found my four group lessons with David excellent. Hes very focused on the technical side of the game and demonstrates everything clearly. His calm and patient approach makes learning enjoyable, Ive already noticed improvements in both accuracy and ball height. I also really appreciate how he provides practical mechanisms to help correct your game when things are off. Im really enjoying the sessions with my friends and highly recommend him.

Really enjoyed this lesson. Having played as a kid and come back to golf fairly recently, David was incredibly quick to identify some excellent drills and fixes to build my set up and swing back up. The analysis videos are so helpful to recap and bring focus to my range practice. 10/10
