I turned Professional in 2006 and was really playing well.
I was working hard on my game, and after just my third Professional event I managed to win a local Pro-Am! Also that year I finished tied 14th in The Midland Assistants Championship, and finished Runner Up in The Worcestershire Matchplay tournament.

AS A COACH:

“Golf is what the ball does, which is totally dependant upon what the club is doing at impact” – John Jacobs

1. This quote was taken from one of the top coaches in the world, John Jacobs, and would sum up my coaching style.

WHAT ARE MY COACHING BELIEFS?

                                      “I believe that players learn in different ways, and
                                      therefore I treat every player as an individual. I strongly
                                      believe that there is NO ‘perfect’ swing and I don’t work
                                      towards achieving this”
                                     

1. Many golfer are ‘put off’ by golf lessons because they are afraid that their swings will be ‘ripped’ apart. I do not look to teach the ‘perfect swing’ so therefore this will not happen, I would much rather work with players’ good points and develop a style  that works for them.
                                         TEACHING/LEARNING TOOLS:

                                      “Videos and mirrors are the only way to teach so the pupil
                                      can differentiate what they feel from what is real. The two
                                      are rarely the same.” – Denis Pugh

As an aid to my clients learning I regularly use C-Swing Digital

Video. C-Swing 2009 is an advanced swing analysis programme that allows you to look at the swing in fine detail using its powerful comparison and drawing tools.

JUNIOR GOLF AND GOLF IN THE COMMUNITY:

I have a big passion for Junior golf as these will eventually be the Players of the future. Along with my junior lessons at the centre on Saturday mornings, I work closely with Birmingham council in delivering golf into local Primary Schools using the ‘Tri-Golf’      equipment. With the introduction of Tri-Golf it has made it easier for us to give children from Primary level and up a ‘golfing experience’ that they will never forget. If you have a school/club that you think maybe interested in this please don’t hesitate to contact me!
