Making the Right Choice: Choosing a Coach to Elevate Your Golf Game
Selecting the right coach to enhance your golf skills can be challenging, so let me share some details about my coaching background.
I am an Irish PGA Coach based in Toronto, Canada, having relocated from Dublin, Ireland, in 2015 to deepen my understanding of the golf swing. Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of learning from and studying alongside some of the world's top instructors, including George Gankas, Chris Como, Jeff Smith, and Scott Cowx. Recently, I have focused on the physical aspects of golf, earning certification as a Level 3 T.P.I Professional.
By choosing Skillest, you’re seeking a top-notch coach to improve your game. I believe that my dedication to both the technical and physical dimensions of golf makes me the ideal coach for you.
I do not adhere to a specific pattern or model for how a player should swing a golf club. While I recognize that certain movements are generally more efficient, my extensive knowledge allows me to create tailored adaptations to help you achieve your desired results. In each session, we will collaborate as a team to produce lasting improvements, with communication being our primary focus throughout the process.
All my lessons include an optional Zoom call. You will begin by uploading two swings from different angles, after which I will send you a brief questionnaire to gather background information, including your golf history, any physical limitations, goals, and current ball flight. Once I receive your responses, I will analyze your swings and provide a video demonstrating my insights. Additionally, you'll receive a video with a relevant drill to aid your progress, and you can schedule your complimentary 15-minute Zoom session at your convenience.
For my monthly subscribers, the first session will also include a questionnaire and a T.P.I physical screen to gather more information about your current movement capabilities and how they may impact your golf swing. This truly offers a comprehensive game improvement package.
Below are some of my qualifications, which I am continually working to enhance. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you!

Steve is great; he is very direct and keeps his instructions simple. He identified my learning style and give me examples and drills that work specifically for me. He is one of the best teachers/coaches I have had in any sport thanks Steve after 30 years of not being sure what works and what does not I think I am making real progress!!.

Steve has a very pragmatic approach that gets beginners striking the ball with confidence without overloading the student with too much information. He also is adept at helping average golfers make small adjustments to solve specific problems. I highly recommend Steve for golfers of all levels
