About the coach

I help golfers of all levels strike the ball better, putt with confidence, and build a swing they can trust.

As one of the very first Stack & Tilt–accredited coaches in Europe, I specialise in teaching golfers how to control contact, distance, and curvature through a clear, structured system.

My coaching combines world-class frameworks with the latest technology — TrackMan, SAM PuttLab, and advanced biomechanics — so every improvement is measured, not guessed.

Since qualifying as a PGA Professional in 2009, I’ve trained extensively with some of the best coaches in the game, including Stack & Tilt co-creators Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett. Along the way I’ve invested heavily in knowledge and tools to ensure my students get the highest possible standard of coaching.

Whether you’re a beginner who wants to make solid contact, a competitive player chasing performance gains, or someone who’s simply frustrated with inconsistency, I’ll help you unlock your potential with clear feedback, evidence-based drills, and proven systems.

Lessons are also available in French for international students who prefer to learn in their native language.

Thank you for visiting my profile, and I look forward to working with you to help you become a better golfer!

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.
