Teaching Philosophy

My philosophy is simple: every golfer is different, and your lessons should reflect that. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all instruction. Whether you're stepping onto a golf course for the very first time or you're a seasoned player looking to sharpen a specific part of your game, I take the time to understand where you are, where you want to go, and what's standing in the way. As a PGA Professional, I've been trained to see the game from every angle — technically, strategically, and mentally — and I bring all of that knowledge to every session. I focus on building genuine understanding, not just quick fixes, so that improvements stick long after you leave the lesson. My goal is always to make the game more enjoyable for you, because when you understand what you're doing and why, confidence follows naturally. I use clear communication, purposeful drills, and video feedback to ensure you leave every lesson with actionable takeaways you can immediately put into practice.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Professional Golf Coach passionate about helping golfers of all abilities improve their game and get more enjoyment out of every round. Earning PGA Professional status represents a deep commitment to the craft — covering everything from swing mechanics and short game technique to course management and the mental side of the game — and I bring that full-spectrum knowledge to every lesson I give. My teaching is built around the individual: I take time to listen, assess, and develop a coaching plan that is genuinely tailored to your swing, your goals, and your lifestyle. I believe that real improvement comes from understanding your own game rather than copying someone else's, and my job is to give you the tools and the clarity to do exactly that. Whether you're looking to break 100 for the first time, lower your handicap, or fix a persistent fault that's been costing you shots, I'm here to help you get there. I also offer online video analysis for golfers who want expert feedback between in-person sessions, making it easy to stay on track regardless of your schedule. If you're ready to invest in your game and start seeing real, lasting progress, I'd love to work with you.

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.
