Teaching Philosophy
Hi, I’m Michael. Are you tired of inconsistent ball striking, slicing your driver, struggling around the greens, or feeling like you’re practising without improving? I’ll give you a clear, personalised plan that helps you understand why you’re missing shots and exactly how to fix them. Whether you’re looking to: * Hit longer, straighter drives * Strike your irons more consistently * Lower your scores with better short game and putting * Break 100, 90, 80… or simply enjoy golf more …I’ll help you build a swing that works on the course, not just on the driving range. With over 10 years of PGA coaching experience, I’ve helped 2,000+ golfers in more than 15 countries improve through simple, personalised coaching. My coaching has also reached millions online, with over 2.5 million YouTube views. What you’ll receive: ✓ Personal video analysis of your swing ✓ Easy-to-follow drills tailored to your game ✓ Practice plans that maximise your time ✓ Ongoing feedback and support between lessons ✓ A simple coaching approach that removes confusion Golf doesn’t improve by collecting tips—it improves by following a structured plan that’s built specifically for you. If you’re ready to play more consistent golf and finally start seeing lower scores, I’d love to help. Choose a coaching plan below and let’s get started.
About the coach
I'm a PGA Advanced Professional and Certified Putting Instructor based at Aberdour Golf Club in Fife, Scotland, with over 10 years of experience coaching golfers of all abilities. My journey in golf began in Bulgaria, where I won the Bulgarian Amateur Open in 2006 and went on to represent my country in the World Amateur Team Championships — the Eisenhower Trophy — at just 17 years old in South Africa. I turned professional shortly after, began my PGA training in London in 2012, qualified as a PGA Professional in 2016, and have since served as Head Professional at three clubs across Scotland.
In 2024, I was recognised with PGA Advanced Professional status — an accolade awarded to professionals who demonstrate excellence across all aspects of their role. I'm also one of only a handful of Certified Putting Instructors in the country, and short game and putting are where I love to help golfers make the biggest gains.
Beyond the lesson tee, I've built a growing online presence with over 2.5 million YouTube views and an active coaching community across social media. I now work with students from the USA, Canada, Dubai, the Dominican Republic, Norway, Australia, and beyond — delivering personalised video feedback, tailored drills, and data-driven coaching plans using Arccos performance tracking.
Whether you're coming to me in person at Aberdour or joining me online from anywhere in the world, you'll get honest, clear, and effective coaching that delivers measurable results on the course.
