My Journey in Golf

​

I am a fully qualified PGA Professional and General Manager, currently based at Sweetwoods Golf Club in Sussex and the Sevenoaks Golf Studio.

 

Golf has been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. I first picked up a golf club at the age of three, and from that moment the game has been an integral part of who I am. My father, a highly respected coach who worked extensively across both the United States and Europe, was my first mentor. 

​

As I progressed through my junior career, golf quickly became far more than simply a sport — it became my identity. I had the honour of representing my county, which at the time was widely recognised as one of the strongest in the country. These performances led to selection for the England Under-18s team, where competing alongside the nation’s best young players provided invaluable experience and a clear understanding of the dedication required to succeed at the highest level.

​

Over the following fifteen years, I had the privilege of competing internationally across a number of professional tours, including the European Challenge Tour, Alps Tour, EuroPro Tour, Asian Tour, and the South African Sunshine Tour. During that time I shared fairways with some of the most respected figures in the game, including Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood and Paul McGinley. I was also fortunate to work with and learn from several of golf’s most renowned coaches, including Hank Haney, Matt Belsham and Denis Pugh. Their insight and expertise helped shape both my playing career and the coaching philosophy I now bring to the players and members I work with today.

​

Like many professional journeys, my career has also presented its share of challenges. In 2014 I sustained a serious injury that kept me away from competitive golf for almost fifteen months. While it was one of the most demanding periods of my career, it ultimately proved to be transformative. 

​

Today, while I still compete internationally in selected PGA events and Pro-Ams, my primary focus is my role at Sweetwoods Golf Club and my passion for coaching. Remaining active in competition keeps my game sharp and ensures that the knowledge I share with members and clients remains current and experience-driven. My greatest satisfaction now comes from helping golfers of all abilities unlock their potential, refine their skills, and most importantly develop a deeper enjoyment and appreciation for this remarkable game.

Coaching Philosophy

 

For me, coaching is deeply personal. I know from my own journey that no two players are the same. People come to golf for different reasons - some to compete, some to improve, some simply for the love of the game. That’s why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I take the time to understand each golfer as an individual: their natural movements, their mindset, and their goals. From there, we focus on building a simple, repeatable swing and developing the skills and confidence to make the game more enjoyable and rewarding.

 

Over the years, I’ve coached players of every level - from complete beginners picking up a club for the first time, to elite players chasing consistency at the highest level. No matter where you are on your golfing journey, my goal is the same: to help you improve, build confidence, and enjoy the game more. There’s no greater satisfaction than seeing my students walk away with a smile, knowing they’ve not just improved their golf, but also found more joy in playing.

 

Pro-Am Experiences

 

Alongside coaching, I regularly compete in PGA Pro-Am events and always encourage golfers to get involved whenever the opportunity arises. These events offer a fantastic blend of great golf, friendly competition and an unforgettable day on the course. Typically played on world-class venues presented in superb condition, they provide a rare chance to experience tournament golf in a relaxed and sociable environment. Playing alongside a PGA Professional adds an extra dimension to the day — offering insight, strategy and a few stories from the tour along the way. Leading teams in these events is something I genuinely enjoy, and they always deliver a memorable experience filled with great golf, great company and plenty of fun.
