Teaching Philosophy
My philosophy is simple: your golf swing is like your fingerprint — unique to you — and my job is to help you unlock it. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, because what works for one golfer won't necessarily work for another. Whether you're a complete beginner picking up a club for the first time or an experienced player preparing for tournament competition, I tailor everything to suit your game, your body, and your goals. Every coaching journey starts with understanding where you are right now. I use data-driven analysis and expert observation to build a clear performance baseline — identifying your strengths, weaknesses, and patterns — before creating a personalised improvement plan covering swing adjustments, practice structure, and equipment insights. From there, we track your progress together with real-world feedback and proven strategies designed to build confidence, consistency, and lasting results on the course. It's not just about swing changes. It's about helping you shoot lower scores in the most simplified, effective way possible. I walk with you every step of the way — whether that's in person at the simulator, online with video analysis, or through ongoing support between sessions. My goal is always to give you the clarity and direction you need to keep improving long after our lesson ends.
About the coach
I'm a PGA Professional based in Eastbourne with over 20 years of teaching experience and a background as a competitive player on the UK satellite tour circuit. Throughout my career, I've coached golfers of all ages and abilities — from complete beginners to county champions and full-time tournament professionals — and every lesson I give is shaped by that breadth of experience.
Beyond my coaching work, I've managed a golf college where I guided students through the process of securing university golf scholarships in the USA, which gave me a deep understanding of what it takes to develop players with genuine long-term potential. I currently serve as the in-house PGA Professional at 4 Golf Simulators in Eastbourne, where I offer individual lessons, packages, and group sessions six days a week — including evenings and weekends — in a state-of-the-art indoor environment.
My approach is built around you as an individual. I use data-driven analysis to establish exactly where your game stands, then build a personalised plan covering everything from swing mechanics and strategy to short game, putting, and mental preparation. I believe in keeping things simple and purposeful — no unnecessary jargon, no overcomplicating the process. Just clear, actionable steps that get results.
For golfers who can't always make it in person, I also offer online coaching with video analysis and ongoing support, so you're never left to figure things out alone. Whether you want to shoot a personal best, compete at a higher level, or simply enjoy the game more, I'm here to help you get there.

Mark understands how to break things down into bite size chunks which helps massively with fine tuning elements of the swing and improving my golf.

Mark has a way of explaining technical aspects of the game in a way that is easy for not only me to understand but my 8 year old son also. Weve both made great improvements under Marks instruction and…
