Teaching Philosophy

I believe the golf swing is a reflection of how your body moves — and that's where real improvement begins. My approach is rooted in biomechanics: understanding how your body functions and identifying the movement patterns that may be limiting your swing. When we clean up how you move, the swing tends to take care of itself. I don't believe in Band-Aid fixes or one-size-fits-all swing tips. Instead, I start with a thorough assessment of your game and your movement, then build a personalized strategy from the ground up. Through structured training, purposeful practice, and real-world on-course application, we work together to bridge the gap between the range and the scorecard. My goal is to give you a deep understanding of your own swing so you can self-correct, keep improving, and play your best golf for years to come.

About the coach

My teaching centers around helping you as a golfer seamlessly transition from training, to practice to play, building skills that translate directly to success on the course. Through a balanced approach of structured training, purposeful practice, and real-world application, we will focus on your personal needs and goals. Together, we will identify areas of improvement and create personalized drills that simulate on-course scenarios. My mission is to empower you with the tools and understanding you need to play your best golf.

Drew did a great job of breaking things down for me and being patient as I tried to reestablish new muscle memory.

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.
