Teaching Philosophy
Golf should be enjoyable. That’s the idea my coaching starts from, because when you really love the game, you tend to get better at it. I don’t jump straight into technique. I take time first to understand what you want from your golf, what you already do well and what’s holding you back. A lot of coaching focuses on getting the club into the right positions. I focus on how your body moves and sequences to get it there. I won’t try to rebuild your swing to match a textbook model. I work with your body and the way you already swing, and make that movement more efficient. That means looking for the root cause of a problem rather than handing you a quick fix, and explaining it clearly so you understand what’s happening and why. I’m big on the small details, since over time they add up to real improvement, and I enjoy working through them with the people I coach. Whether you’re picking up a club for the first time or chasing a lower handicap, I build each session around you. I use video analysis alongside clear, practical feedback, so you always leave with something specific to work on. My background in fitness and personal training also lets me look beyond the swing. I can take your body, how you move and your mindset into account, which helps you get more out of your game
About the coach
I’m a PGA Professional and the founder of Kodo Golf, coaching at Royal Winchester Golf Club in Winchester. I came into golf the long way round. Before coaching, I studied Paramedic Science at Bournemouth University before being a registered Paramedic for 4 years, and I worked as a Level 3 Personal Trainer. Both taught me a lot about how the body moves and what helps people perform. I still use that in every lesson.
I’ve worked a few different jobs in golf along the way. I started greenkeeping at South Winchester Golf Club, then moved to the pro shop and coaching at Royal Winchester. Seeing the game from the course itself up to the lesson tee has shaped how I coach it. I hold a PGA Foundation Degree in Professional Golf Studies from the University of Birmingham, and I keep my coaching grounded in evidence.
With Kodo Golf the aim is simple: help you find out how good you can be, and enjoy the process of getting there. I coach in person at Royal Winchester, and online through video analysis if you’re further afield. Whether you want to take your game seriously or just enjoy it more, I’d be glad to help.
