About the coach

Over the last 15 years working in the golf industry and playing competitively, I’m fortunate to have been mentored and exposed to the teaching philosophies of Mike Adams, Terry Rowles, Adam Young, Bruce Rearick, Doc Craig Farnsworth, Scott Cowx, Ryan Holley, Bryn Parry and Dr. Saul Miller.

Combining their knowledge, my approach to instruction prioritizes the following:
1️⃣ Identify how the golfer’s body wants to move;
2️⃣ Educate the golfer to self-diagnose their swing using the ball flight;
3️⃣ Encourage experimenting in practice to develop problem solving skills on the golf course.

What working with me would look like:
🟢 20min FaceTime/WhatsApp call to discuss goals and conduct golfer screens
🔵 Golfer will upload a Face-On and Down-the-Line video
🟢 Golfer will receive a personalized analysis using either Skillest’s analytical tool or a video of me demonstrating the process (whichever is more suitable)

Remote putter fittings also available where the golfer will be:
🟩 Screened for dimensions to determine correct posture for putter length and lie
🟦 Educated on putter head types
🟩 Observed hitting putts to confirm fitting

Please feel free to send me a message should you have any questions about online coaching.
