About the coach
I first picked up a golf club at age 7 and have never looked back!
The highlights of my amateur career were winning the NZ Amateur Championship at age 14 and finishing 5th at the Callaway Junior World Championship in San Diego in 2017.
I was fortunate enough to represent New Zealand in the Commonwealth Trophy, Queen Sirikit Cup and trans-Tasman events. I briefly attended Arizona State University on a scholarship before returning home to pursue a career in coaching.
Having completed my PGA apprenticeship in 2017, I’m now a fully accredited member of the NZ PGA and my passion now lies in coaching and helping people get the most enjoyment out of their golf. My PGA studies paired with my experience as an amateur golfer, has given me a wealth of information that I now use to help my clients.
My coaching philosophy centres on the belief that a functional golf swing comes from identifying and understanding the root causes of each golfers ball flight and club delivery issues, and then creating a plan for change. I believe that a long-term approach to learning and a commitment to practice and change is the key to improvement!
I’m here to help anyone from a single figure golfer, through to those who are just picking up a golf club for the first time.

Larissa did the impossible with me - she enabled me to break 100, which is what I asked of her from the outset. Now that may not be a big deal to some people, but Ive always been pretty poor at golf and hence had never really wanted to take it up over the years. I eventually did take it up at the age of 64 and that sub-100 target was my aim. Larissas coaching style was very relaxed and easy to follow and work with. I would certainly recommend her to anyone. Ive broken 100 a few times now . . . roll on sub-90 :0)
