About the coach

Since 2009, I have run the London Putting Academy at Royal Blackheath Golf Club, helping golfers of all abilities develop greater confidence, control, and performance on the greens.

Over the years, I have coached numerous professionals, including winners on the DP World Tour, Challenge Tour, and Ladies European Tour. My coaching experience extends to multiple Major Championships—The Open, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship—as well as a wide range of PGA Tour and DP World Tour events. I have supported a Challenge Tour Order of Merit winner and worked with several players who progressed from the Challenge Tour to the DP World Tour.

On the women’s side, I have coached two Ladies European Tour champions and a Ladies Sunshine Tour Order of Merit winner. My work with elite amateurs includes national representatives, top-five players in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, and numerous national and county-level squads.

Beyond elite performance, I am deeply committed to helping club golfers of all experience levels refine their technique and elevate their overall putting performance.

In addition to coaching, I have produced a variety of instructional video content for Titleist and Golf Pride, featured across my own platforms as well as their social media channels and websites.
