Teaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built on one simple idea: every golfer is different, and the way I communicate needs to reflect that. Whether I'm working with a touring professional fine-tuning their game under pressure or a club golfer trying to break 90 for the first time, I meet each player at their level. I believe in giving you a clear plan and making sure the improvements we work on are fully understood — not just felt once on the range, but integrated into your game for the long term. I love using video analysis to show you exactly what's happening in your swing, paired with customised drills so you can feel the changes and repeat them with confidence. Golf should be enjoyable, and I genuinely believe that when you understand your game better and see real progress, the enjoyment follows naturally. If you're committed to improvement and willing to trust a process, I'll do everything I can to help you reach your goals.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Professional based at Glenlo Abbey Golf Club in Galway, Ireland, working with golfers of all levels from all around the world. My career has been built on results — I've had the privilege of coaching national team players on Irish, Connacht, and US College squads, as well as touring professionals competing at the highest levels of the game. At the same time, some of my most rewarding work has been helping everyday club golfers make transformational improvements, from 20-handicappers breaking into single figures to scratch players achieving their competitive ambitions. I completed The PGA degree and hit the ground running — within my first years as a fully qualified professional I already had a full coaching diary including many elite players, something I'm incredibly proud of. I've since delivered over 5,000 online lessons, connecting with committed golfers across the globe through video analysis and personalised feedback. Whether you're based in Galway and can come out to Glenlo Abbey, or you're on the other side of the world, I offer a coaching experience that is structured, personal, and built around you. If you're ready to follow a clear plan and commit to genuine improvement, 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.
