Highlights
- I coach novice golfers to golfers who’ve tried everything else, are mid-handicappers and play regularly, and still can’t break 80.
- 10+ years dedicated to helping committed amateur golfers build consistent, long-term improvement
- Head Coach at Edgbaston Golf Academy, overseeing all coaches and coaching programmes at one of Birmingham's leading golf facilities
- 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.

Overall rating
Hitting ball closer to the heal made me hit it more central in the club rather than off the toe plus dropping my right shoulder to get more elevation, plus stop criticising myself so much.
