Teaching Philosophy
I believe that real, lasting improvement comes from consistent, structured coaching — not one-off lessons that are quickly forgotten. Too many golfers hit a plateau not because of a lack of talent, but because they lack a clear, ongoing plan. That's exactly why I founded 1 Shot Golf Academy: to give every golfer a tailored, accessible coaching programme that builds real progress over time. My approach is straightforward: I listen carefully to what you want to achieve, diagnose the root causes of your challenges, and build a programme around you — not around a generic swing model. I'll never push a change that doesn't feel right for you. Instead, we work together to find what works best for your game and your body. Whether we're working on your full swing, short game, or course strategy, I make sure every session has clear takeaways and post-lesson video feedback so you always have a reference point when you practise. I'm passionate about making high-quality golf coaching accessible to all levels — from nervous beginners to competitive amateurs — and I take genuine pride in watching my students improve and fall in love with the game.
About the coach
About Me
I’m a PGA Accredited Coach working with golfers ranging from beginners to elite-level players.
I don’t believe in random swing tips or information overload.
My coaching is built around clarity, structure, and accountability — so you always know what to work on and why.
Online coaching allows me to deliver the same structured process I use in person, without location being a barrier.

How My Online Coaching Works
This is not one-off video analysis.
Online coaching with me includes:
• A clear initial assessment
• Defined priorities (maximum two at any time)
• Monthly structured swing reviews
• Personalised practice plans
• Ongoing feedback through Skillest
• Accountability to make sure practice transfers to the course
You’re not guessing. You’re following a plan.
⸻
Who This Is For
This is for golfers who:
• Practise but don’t improve consistently
• Feel stuck or confused by swing thoughts
• Want structure rather than tips
• Are coachable and willing to commit
This is not for golfers looking for instant fixes or casual advice.
⸻
Coaching Standards
I limit online coaching to 50 clients to protect:
• Coaching quality
• Response times
• Consistency of support
Applications are reviewed before acceptance.
