Teaching Philosophy
My coaching philosophy is built on the belief that every golfer is unique — and that the best instruction meets each individual exactly where they are. I blend hands-on technique work with video analysis and the latest training technology to give my students a clear picture of what's happening in their swing and why. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I take the time to understand each golfer's body, goals, and learning style before charting a path forward. I draw on methods from some of the world's leading instructional frameworks — including Stack & Tilt® and Scott Cowx principles — to create structured, evidence-based development plans that produce real results. Above all, I want every student to enjoy the process. Golf is a game meant to bring joy, and I believe a positive, encouraging environment is just as important as the technical work we do together. Whether you're a junior just picking up a club for the first time or an experienced player chasing that next breakthrough, my goal is the same: to help you reach your fullest potential while keeping the love of the game alive.
About the coach
I'm a Singapore PGA professional with a passion for golf that goes back to childhood. I first picked up a club at age seven and went on to represent the Singapore Sports School Golf Team and the Singapore National Development Squad — experiences that gave me a deep appreciation for what structured, purposeful coaching can achieve. I've been a proud AAA member of the Singapore PGA since 2016, and over the years I've built a coaching practice grounded in both elite methodology and genuine care for every student I work with. I work with golfers across all skill levels — from complete beginners building their very first foundations, to competitive players fine-tuning their game. I hold certifications in Stack & Tilt®, Scott Cowx Level 1, U.S. Kids Golf Level 1, and the SG Coach Level 1 Full Integration Golf programme, giving me a well-rounded toolkit to address swing mechanics, junior development, and long-term player growth. My lessons incorporate video analysis and advanced technology alongside hands-on instruction, so every student leaves with a clear, actionable understanding of their game. I conduct lessons in both English and Mandarin, making quality coaching accessible to a wider community. If you're ready to improve, I'd love to be part of your golf journey.
