- 10+ years dedicated to helping committed amateur golfers build consistent, long-term improvement

- Coaches with TrackMan launch monitor technology — delivering real swing data, not guesswork
Teaching Philosophy
If you’ve been stuck between a 15–25 handicap for years, you probably have swing issues. The problem isn’t the diagnosis — it’s that fixing the swing on the range means nothing if it collapses on the course. I coach the whole picture: mechanics, how to ingrain changes, and how to score well while rebuilding. The mid-handicap plateau is the most frustrating place in golf. You're too good to be a beginner, not good enough to feel like you're improving. You've probably spent real money on lessons that reset every time. I built the Break 80 System specifically to solve this - with a structured 90-day improvement programme. This programme is for the time-poor professional who needs a system, not to ‘just keep working on it’ on their own.
About the coach
Most mid-handicappers do have swing issues. The problem isn’t the diagnosis — it’s that fixing the swing on the range means nothing if the change collapses under pressure on the course. I coach the whole picture: what’s broken mechanically, how to ingrain it, and how to score while you’re rebuilding it.
