Teaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built on a dual foundation: optimizing a player's technical execution while revolutionizing how they utilize their training time. Every golfer receives a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to isolate performance bottlenecks, paired with a structured, data-driven practice framework designed to maximize efficiency and accelerate development

Whether you're just starting out, a social golfer looking to have more fun on the course, or someone eager to improve, my coaching is designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward your goals—without overcomplicating things.

I bring over a decade of experience as a fully qualified PGA Professional, combining knowledge from my time as a competitive player and coach. During my professional career, I competed on three continents, achieved over 50 professional wins (including the 2017 Cervino Open), and set 12 course records. These experiences, along with my work with leading experts in sports psychology, performance, and game management, have shaped a coaching approach that is simple, effective, and focused on you.

Through my online coaching, you'll gain access to personalized practice plans, clear guidance, and regular feedback to help you improve your skills while building confidence and enjoying the journey. I also offer free Zoom consultations so we can chat about how I can help you achieve your goals and enjoy golf even more.

Let’s work together to make your golf experience as rewarding and enjoyable as it can be!

Frequently asked questions

What is an online golf lesson?

An online golf lesson is a way of learning golf skills and techniques from a coach or instructor through the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. 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. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. 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.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons.
