Teaching Philosophy
I believe that good coaching starts with listening. Before I ever offer advice, I take the time to understand what each student is trying to achieve and what they find difficult about their game. I don't like to guess — I want to find the real reason behind the problem and explain it clearly, so that students genuinely understand their own swing rather than just following instructions. Every lesson I give is structured but simple. I use drills that are designed specifically for each person's swing, ability, and goals, because what works for one golfer may not work for another. Having gone through every stage of the game myself — from complete beginner to amateur, single-handicapper, and then professional — I truly understand the struggles golfers face at every level. I integrate swing analysis and biomechanics into my sessions to give students objective, data-backed feedback, but I always make sure the explanations are accessible and actionable. Whether you're picking up a club for the first time or refining your game as an experienced player, my goal is the same: help you improve, build confidence, and enjoy the process of getting better.
About the coach
I'm a PGA of Thailand-certified golf professional and Senior Coach at iGOLF Academy in Singapore, with over 15 years of competitive playing experience and more than 12,000 hours of coaching behind me. My playing career took me across Asia's top circuits — the All Thailand Golf Tour, PGA Thailand Tour, Korean Winter Tour, and Asian Tour events — and that experience on tour is something I bring directly into every lesson I give.
I started out just like many of my students: as a complete beginner, working my way through amateur golf to a single-digit handicap before turning professional. That journey gives me a genuine understanding of what golfers at every stage are going through, and it shapes the way I coach.
My coaching is built around understanding first, instruction second. I use swing analysis and biomechanics to identify what's really driving a problem, and then I explain it in a way that makes sense — so students leave knowing why they made a change, not just what to do. I've worked with golfers of all levels, from first-timers to elite juniors, including a US Kids Junior World Champion. I've also mentored fellow instructors, which has sharpened my ability to communicate complex ideas simply and effectively.
Being fluent in multiple languages means I can connect with a wide range of students, and I take pride in creating lessons that feel personalised — because they are. If you're looking for a coach who will take the time to truly understand your game and give you a clear, tailored path forward, I'd love to work with you.
