Teaching Philosophy

I believe in teaching the individual. Every golfer who comes to me is different, and I firmly believe that we all learn and improve in different ways. My job is to understand you as a player, listen carefully to what you want from your game, and find the best possible solution for your specific needs. Whether you're a complete beginner picking up a club for the first time or a seasoned club golfer looking to sharpen your short game, I tailor every lesson to suit your goals and learning style. I use the latest technology — including a Foresight GCQuad launch monitor, Capto putting analysis, and Puttview — to give you clear, objective data that makes improvement tangible and measurable. I'm particularly passionate about putting and the short game, having qualified as a PGA Certified Putting Instructor in 2019. I also use video analysis to complement the process and make sure you leave every session with clear, precise practice guidelines you can implement straight away. Golf should be enjoyable, and I want every golfer who works with me to feel confident, motivated, and genuinely better equipped to play the game they love.

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.
