About the coach

I have run the London Putting Academy since 2009 at Royal Blackheath Golf Club in London and in the time I have helped golfers of all abilities take control of and improve their putting skills.

In that time I have coached lots of Professionals including DP World Tour, Challenge Tour and Ladies European Tour winners. I have coached at multiple Open Championships, US Opens and PGA Championships as well as numerous DP World tour events. I have coached a winner of the Challenge Tour rankings along with a number of graduates from the Challenge Tour up onto the DP World Tour.

I have coached 2 winners on the Ladies European Tour and a winner of the Ladies Sunshine Tour Order of Merit as well as elite amateurs representing their country and in the top 5 of the World Amateur Rankings as well as County squads.

Outside of Elite players, I spend lots of time coaching club golfers of all skill levels and experience to help improve their technique and overall performance within their putting.

Alongside my coaching I have created a number of pieces of video content for Titleist and Golf Pride which can be found on mine and their social media channels and websites.
