About the coach

Golf has been a lifelong passion and journey for me, It started in Kenya. 35 years of experience in the game and the last 8 years serving as a Club Teaching Professional in Finland. Throughout my coaching career, I have had the privilege of teaching golfers in Kenya, Thailand, and Finland, gaining valuable insight into different cultures, learning styles, and player needs. As a people-oriented coach, I believe every golfer has unique strengths and movement patterns. The key to improving your swing is learning to acknowledge and identify how your body moves, both with and without a golf club. Greater body awareness creates a stronger foundation for consistent and lasting improvement.
