I have been a proud member of The Professional Golfers Association since 2008. As part of the Coach Education and Equipment Technology teams, I help in the delivery of the internationally recognised training program and support the learning of the PGA Professionals of the future.
As a coach I have worked with a broad range of golfers from four to eighty-four and my coaching passion is development over performance. There is a lot of value as a coach in developing your game through your understanding and leading to the answers for the long term benefit.
I have a number of additional qualifications focusing on physical literacy, biomechanics, speed training and skill acquisition which all come together to make you a better all rounder.
Technology in todays world is essential. When I coach, I measure. Measuring removes guesswork, saves time and increases the opportunities for development.
Trackman, Boditrak, SAM Puttlad and Hackmotion are all tools available during coaching sessions.
I work with Scottish Golf Ltd, supporting their Junior Golf Pathway and coach education services. This is a very rewarding role helping develop junior programs in clubs that do not have a PGA Professional. The game moves forward with volunteers giving their time to make it happen.
