Teaching Philosophy
I believe that most amateur golfers don't struggle because they lack talent — they struggle because they lack clarity and structure. Random lessons might produce short-term results, but they rarely lead to lasting improvement. That's the problem I set out to solve with every student I work with. My approach is built around structured progression. Each session connects to the last, with clear practice priorities that keep you accountable between lessons. I use TrackMan data and video analysis so you can see exactly what's happening in your swing — no guesswork, no vague feedback. Just honest, evidence-based coaching that gives you real tools to keep improving. I work best with committed amateur golfers who play regularly, are open to changing ingrained habits, and value genuine improvement over quick fixes. If you're looking for a one-off tip, I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're ready to build a consistent, reliable game through properly connected lessons and focused practice, that's exactly what I'm here to help you do. Whether you start with a single swing assessment or commit to a structured improvement programme, my goal is the same: to give you clarity about your game, confidence in your swing, and the framework to keep getting better long after our sessions together.
About the coach
I'm a PGA Professional and Head Coach at Edgbaston Golf Academy, where I've spent seven years helping amateur golfers improve their games in a way that actually sticks. Based at Edgbaston Golf Club in Birmingham — one of the city's most respected golfing venues — I oversee all coaching programmes and work one-on-one with golfers who are serious about getting better.
At the Academy, I coach using TrackMan launch monitor technology and video analysis to give students a precise, data-backed picture of their swing. But technology is only part of the story. What truly sets my coaching apart is the structure: I design personalised development plans with clear priorities, and I build each session on the last so your progress compounds over time.
I work with committed amateurs who play regularly and are ready to invest in real, lasting improvement — not one-off tips. If that sounds like you, send me your first swing video and let's get started.
