Teaching Philosophy

I believe that lasting improvement comes from understanding the process, not from chasing quick fixes. My approach is built on long-term development — whether you're a complete beginner, a competitive player, or someone who simply wants to enjoy the game more. I address every part of what makes a complete golfer: the full swing, short game, putting, practice routines, course management, and the mental side of the game. Nothing is left to chance. As a short game specialist, I place particular emphasis on the scoring areas of the game — the shots inside 100 yards that most amateurs overlook but that truly separate great players from good ones. Every lesson I deliver is personalised: I create customised video demonstrations showing exactly what you need to work on, paired with targeted drills that help you integrate real, lasting change. I'm passionate about helping every student understand where they are, where they want to be, and exactly how to get there.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Professional with over 15 years of coaching experience, based at Boulcott's Farm Golf Club in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand. A proud NZPGA member since 2009, I stepped away from playing as a Club Assistant Professional in 2011 to dedicate myself fully to coaching — a decision I've never looked back on. Over the years I've evolved into a short game specialist, and today that's where my passion and expertise are most focused. I run DK Golf, which has become the leading coaching operation in the Wellington region for structured game development programmes, with a growing global reach through online lessons. I'm also a certified Op36 Master Coach, reflecting my commitment to quality junior development and structured progression frameworks. My students range from complete beginners picking up a club for the first time, to competitive players pushing for single figures. No matter your starting point, I provide the knowledge, tools, and structured plan to help you reach your goals — without the quick tips or band-aid fixes that don't last. I've had the privilege of coaching junior academies, running Monday night clinics, and mentoring golfers across the world through video analysis and remote coaching. If you're serious about improvement and want a coach who is equally serious about delivering real, measurable results, I'd love to work with you.

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.

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.
