Teaching Philosophy
My coaching is driven by one core belief: impact is everything. But the way we get there isn't one-size-fits-all and that's exactly the point. I've invested deeply in understanding multiple schools of thought, from the science-backed, task-based approach derived from ecological motor learning, to the detailed technical frameworks. I don't believe any single method holds all the answers. Instead, I use the approach that best fits you! Your learning style, your body, your goals. Every player I work with starts with a thorough baseline: understanding your strengths, your patterns, and where the real gaps are. From there, I build a personalised plan, not just swing changes, but practice structure, strategy, and mindset so that what you work on in a lesson actually shows up on the course under pressure. I want to make golf simpler, more enjoyable, and more effective. My standards are high because I genuinely care about your improvement, and I'll walk the journey with you every step of the way.
About the coach
I'm a PGA Professional based at Mark Janes Golf Academy in Tonbridge, Kent, with over 15 years of playing experience and 5 years of dedicated coaching. My golf journey began at Woodhall Spa, “The National Golf Centre” and Home of England Golf, where I grew up playing and competing on one of the world's finest heathland courses. That formative environment gave me a deep respect for the game and a high standard of play, which I carried through to university level where I competed and won at national competitions.
Now I channel that experience into helping golfers of every level get real, lasting improvement. I coach at Mark Janes Golf Academy, a thriving facility at Tonbridge Golf Centre in Kent, offering both in-person lessons and remote video coaching with structured, personalised programmes.
What sets my coaching apart is the breadth of my knowledge. I'm well-versed in ecological, task-based learning the approach popularised by coaches like Adam Young, as well as the more technical TGM and MORAD frameworks. I don't preach one system; I use whatever works best for you. My process starts with a clear baseline assessment, followed by a personalised improvement plan covering swing, practice structure, strategy, and mindset then ongoing accountability so your progress actually sticks.
I hold my students to a high standard because I genuinely believe in what they can achieve. Whether you're a beginner or a competitive player, I'm here to help you build a game that works when it matters most.

Great introduction lesson and analysis, what Jake said made sense with his guidance and has given me enough to think about and try without overloading me.

Jake has been great and is really personable! He really broke down my swing into different elements to help me understand what I need to do to improve. I would recommend him to anyone!

One Off Lesson
1 Online Lesson- This is your fastest route to understanding your golf swing. In this lesson, I’ll identify exactly what’s holding your game back and show you the quickest path to improvement. Rather than overwhelming you with multiple swing thoughts, we’ll focus on the key changes that will create the biggest impact on your ball striking, consistency, and confidence.
- A complete assessment of your swing and movement patterns. I’ll analyse your swing from both face-on and down-the-line angles, looking at how your body moves, how the club works throughout the motion, and why you’re producing your current ball flight patterns. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what is happening, why it’s happening, and what needs to change.
- Detailed personalised video analysis. You’ll receive a comprehensive voiceover lesson breaking down your swing frame-by-frame, making complex concepts easy to understand and apply. No generic coaching. Every recommendation is built around your unique movement patterns, abilities, and goals.
- A structured improvement plan. You’ll receive specific drills and practice recommendations designed to help you implement the changes immediately. More importantly, you’ll understand not only what to practise, but how to practise so your improvement transfers onto the golf course.
- Ongoing lesson support for up to two weeks. Every lesson includes comment and chat support, allowing you to ask questions and receive clarification as you work through the changes with a swing review at the end of two weeks to check on the changes. This ensures you always feel confident about the direction you’re taking.
- Fast turnaround. Your completed lesson will be delivered within 48 hours, allowing you to take your feedback straight into your next practice session or round.
