Teaching Philosophy

Putting is my passion, and I've dedicated thousands of hours of research over many years to truly understanding what it takes to improve a player's performance on the green. My philosophy is simple: knowledge is king. The putt is the outcome of the process that comes before it — if your process is inconsistent, an inconsistent outcome should come as no surprise. That's why I focus on every building block: Green Reading using AimPoint, distance control, start line, set up & structure. I treat every player as an individual. Your putting stroke will be developed around what works best for you specifically — not a one-size-fits-all method. In every session I identify your strengths and weaknesses, then build customised drills for you to take away and practice with purpose. I also teach AimPoint Express, the world's number one green reading system, so you'll step onto any green knowing exactly how to read every putt quickly, accurately, and with complete confidence. Whether you're a complete beginner or an elite competitor, I guarantee you will leave a better player with a deeper understanding of your putting game.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Professional and Specialist Putting Coach with a national reputation built over more than 15 years of exclusive focus on the green game. I came to professional coaching with a clear vision: to become one of the UK's leading experts in putting — and that's exactly what I've built. I work exclusively with players looking to improve their putting performance, and I've had the privilege of coaching hundreds of players of all abilities, from juniors and club golfers right through to Elite Amateurs, DP World Tour winners & PGA Tour Professionals.
As a Level 2 AimPoint Certified Instructor — one of the highest AimPoint qualifications available — I am the only certified L2 AimPoint instructor in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, and one of only a handful in the entire country. AimPoint is the world's number one green reading system, used by over 50% of PGA Tour professionals, and I'm proud to be at the forefront of delivering it to golfers across the UK and beyond. My coaching base is Forest Pines Golf Resort in Broughton, Lincolnshire — home to one of the finest practice greens in the country — where I deliver lessons using Vertex putting technology for precise data-driven feedback alongside AimPoint green reading instruction. I also organise group clinics at select venues across the region throughout the season. Away from individual lessons, I co-host immersive golf coaching breaks at iconic venues including Woodhall Spa in the UK and overseas golf holidays to Turkey and Dubai through the winter months, bringing together specialist instruction in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
My approach is always player-first: I tailor every session to your individual needs, identify the specific areas holding you back, and give you practical, purpose-built drills to take away. Don't let putting be a mystery anymore — let me help you build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to hole more putts.

Frequently asked questions

What is an online golf lesson?

An online golf lesson is a way of learning golf skills and techniques from a coach or instructor through the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. On Skillest, you can get private instruction with an elite golf coach without even leaving your home. Just record your golf swing and send it to your coach, along with any goals, questions, or other information that will help your coach create the right plan for you.

What are the benefits of an online lesson using Skillest?

Online golf lessons using Skillest offer many benefits, such as convenience, affordability, flexibility, and access to the largest selection of the most talented golf coaches in one place. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. When you get a lesson on Skillest, you don’t need to schedule a time or drive to your lesson. You can just record your swing and message your coach whenever you have questions.

How do I receive feedback from my coach?

You will receive feedback from your coach through the Skillest app. Your coach will record their own videos with their analysis as well as additional drills to work on and send them back to you inside the lesson. You can watch your coach’s analysis, which may include video, audio, text, or drawings and see the changes and improvements they suggest for your swing. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.
