Teaching Philosophy

I believe there is no one perfect golf swing. Every golfer is unique, with different physical capabilities, movement patterns and goals, so coaching should be tailored to the individual rather than forcing players into a model. My approach combines biomechanics, performance principles and modern coaching methods to help golfers improve consistency, increase speed and lower scores. I focus on creating simple, effective changes that are easy to understand and transfer to the golf course. I aim to help golfers develop a better understanding of their game, practise with purpose and build movements that are efficient, repeatable and sustainable. Whether working with beginners or experienced players, my goal is to provide a clear pathway for long-term improvement and help every golfer maximise their potential while enjoying the game more.

2 lessons in and I can clearly see a new swing, which i was really worried about. But..I absolutely love it, im achieving the beautiful feeling of a flushed strike. Before it was very infrequent, but…

Ball striking a lot better after a dreadful week, the drills we did made it more comfortable coming through the backswing

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. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

What are Courses?

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.
