About the coach
Hi everybody! Bonjour à toutes et à tous!
I am JF and welcome to my Skillest page! I currently teach and coach a variety of learners from beginners to recreational golfers, elite juniors, top level amateurs, professionals and all ability players.
Why should you work with me?
1. You are a player looking for a coach that can help you get results.
My knowledge of human movement (biomechanics and motor learning) and my understanding of possible movement limitations that you might face help me to address and develop a personalized improvement plan built on your needs. Also, I have a very human and personable approach. Every learner is important to me, may you be a beginner or a more advanced player. My objective is to help you perform to the best of your ability through a simple and progressive approach.
2. You are a a new or developing golf professional and you seek support in relation to becoming a better teacher-coach in relation to: a) program development and lesson planning; b) skill analysis (biomechanics and motor learning); and c) developing efficient post lesson practice plans.
I have spent my whole professional career as teacher and coach educator. If you are seeking assistance in development these various aspects important to your evolution as a teacher-coach, I can help!
Pour les golfeuses et golfeurs de la francophie Internationale, n’hésitez pas à me contacter. Il me fera plaisir de vous assister en Français!

Just getting started. A 13hdp looking to get back to single digits. JF is incredibly responsive and really puts the time and attention into customizing drills and activities for you. Highly recommend!

I started working with JF in June 2024 as a complete beginner. I had never even held a golf club. Thanks to his coaching, Ive progressed to consistently shooting in the 80s. JF is highly knowledgeable and breaks down the swing in a way thats easy to understand without overwhelming you with too many thoughts. His step-by-step approach, along with the specific drills and post-lesson analysis, helped me improve both during lessons and on my own. Ive gained a lot more confidence in my game, and I know I wouldnt have reached this level without his guidance. I highly recommend JF to golfers of all skill levels!
