My philosophy:

I base my coaching around the individuality of each player. I have a multi-disciplined approach that focuses on improving swing technique, mental approach and psychological abilities.
I am NOT a method coach, I do not believe there is one method of swinging a club and you will not find me teaching that way.
I believe players have their own “style” and I will help you to add technique to aid your style. I will identify your strengths and weaknesses and recognise your learning style.
It is your coaches job to have the in-depth knowledge of the game and then make this as simple as possible for the student, using less golfing jargon, keeping the thought process to a minimum on the golf course.
I use the most “state of the art” analysis tools to help identify your faults and how to improve them. This can also help to create a blueprint of your best golf which we can refer back to in future sessions.
I like to use drills and training aids so the player can feel the correct movement and all students will leave the lesson with drills to aid their practice time.
