About Me

Picture

Since becoming a Golf Professional in 2000, I have used my experiences of teaching every standard of golfer, from Tour Professionals to complete beginners, to develop, refine and hone my teaching skills.

My teaching involves a wealth of knowledge about golf and biomechanics and a great passion for seeing golfers improve. I deliver a simple, logical style that helps the golfer understand and implement changes to their game and guide them into achieving their goals. I have taught in the region of 25,000 plus golf lessons.

I currently coach full time in person at the Trafford Golf Academy based at the Trafford Golf Centre Driving range in Manchester, next to the Trafford Centre. I also coach on course at local golf courses and organise and deliver special golf events at venues around Manchester.

I Graduated from University in 1998 as a football coach with a degree in Sports Science. Whilst coaching football my keen interest in biomechanics and favouritism of individual coaching combined with a burgeoning love of golf led me to a change of sport. To achieve my aims of coaching golf I needed to turn professional and then complete the PGA Diploma Programme. In March 1999 following a winter of intense practice, I posted three cards to attain my first amateur handicap of 4. 1 year later and I had turned professional and enrolled on the PGA diploma to become a PGA Qualified Professional Golfer. I completed the 3 year diploma in 2 years in 2002, graduating 3rd in my year and finally able to coach golf full time.

I began at The Trafford Golf Centre in June 2004 and have been coaching full time in the Trafford Golf Academy ever since.

Off the course I have a family – wife, two daughters, and two troublesome Jack Russell dogs.

I enjoy reading, autobiographies and sci-fi, watching films - horror being the only genre my wife and I can agree on - and seeing bands and comedians live on stage regularly.
