  • High-speed video analysis at 120 frames per second to diagnose swing faults with precision

Teaching Philosophy

My approach to coaching is simple: I want every golfer who works with me to leave feeling more confident, more capable, and genuinely excited about their game. Whether you're picking up a club for the very first time or looking to iron out a stubborn fault that's crept into your swing, I tailor every lesson to your individual needs and goals. I believe in using the best tools available to make improvement tangible. With Flightscope launch monitor data and high-speed video analysis at 120 frames per second, I can show you exactly what's happening in your swing — not just tell you. Seeing it for yourself is one of the most powerful moments in any lesson. For junior golfers, I'm especially passionate about creating a fun, supportive environment where young players develop a love for the game that lasts a lifetime. Through my work with the Golf Foundation and Golf Access, I've seen first-hand how the right introduction to golf can open doors for young people far beyond the course. Ultimately, golf should be enjoyable. My job is to help you play better golf, stay motivated, and keep improving — whatever level you're starting from.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Professional based at Wheathill Golf Club in the beautiful Somerset countryside, where I've built a coaching practice dedicated to helping golfers of every age and ability get more from their game. I combine hands-on equipment knowledge with a genuine passion for instruction that spans everything from beginner group sessions to detailed one-to-one technical work with established players.

With Junior development I work closely with the Golf Foundation to introduce young players to the game in a safe, encouraging, and enjoyable setting.

For adult golfers, I offer a full range of lesson formats: individual sessions, on-course lessons, and comprehensive game assessments that cover every club in the bag.

Beyond my work at Wheathill, I have served as Captain for the PGA in Gloucestershire & Somerset. Reflecting my commitment to the professional standards and growth of the game in this region. Whatever your goals — breaking 90 for the first time, preparing for the course season, or simply enjoying golf more — I'm here to help you get there.

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.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

What are Courses?

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.
