About the coach

🔸PGA Professional Golfer

🔸Sales Specialist at PXG

🔸Former Sales Executive at TaylorMade Golf

🔸Former Coach & Staff Member at Wentworth Club, Gleneagles & St Andrews

With years of experience as a fully qualified PGA Professional and time spent working with leading brands and world-renowned clubs, I bring both deep technical knowledge and real-world playing insight to every lesson. I understand that no two golfers are the same, which is why my coaching is always personalised to your swing, goals, and playing style. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build solid fundamentals or a competitive player chasing consistency under pressure, I’ll give you clear, actionable guidance supported by drills that make lasting improvements. My goal is simple: to help you play better, enjoy the game more, and achieve results you can be proud of.

How my lessons work ⬇️

1️⃣ I’ll analyse your swing with a voiceover, highlighting both your key strengths and areas for improvement.

2️⃣ You’ll then receive a video of me demonstrating your current tendencies, along with the changes needed to progress.

3️⃣ I’ll provide you with a tailored drill designed to help you make these changes more consistent — both in practice and under pressure.

❗️ When sending your swings, please include two videos: one down-the-line and one face-on. Please share as much detail as possible about your background, typical shot patterns, and the key outcomes you’d like to achieve from your lessons.

🔸 Turnaround within 24–48 hours — plus a free Zoom consultation so we can connect and explore how your performance can be taken to the next level. We’ll discuss your game, your goals, and how best to achieve them — whether that’s lowering your handicap, winning your monthly medal, or simply hitting more greens each round.

My initial swing review with Will was extremely helpful. He immediately was able to point out 4-5 flaws in my swing, and explained them in a clear and concise manner

Great lesson from Will. Very good technical analysis that was broken down in a clear and easy to understand way. Simple but effective drills provided for me to go away and work on
