Early Years

Early Life Lessons

Growing up in southern Sydney, Australia I loved ball sports and played rugby league, baseball, tennis and soccer at A grade and state cup levels.

At around 8 was my first experience with golf and it soon became a passion, playing many golf tournaments and gaining lots of experience through wins and losses.

Entering the profession of golf in 1995 aged 21 with the idea of playing tournaments a love of teaching was discovered along the way. The challenge of explaining the golf swing and watching people improve is very enjoyable to me.

Teaching Beliefs

• Golf is a game for everyone to enjoy!
• The first lesson with a student is the most important and should involve formulating a plan.
• A picture says a thousand words, but what words?
• The downswing starts from the ground up!
• People rarely improve when they have no other model but themselves.

Teaching Background

With a love for teaching I have developed a successful instruction system that is simple to understand and easy to implement.

Completing a traineeship with the Australian PGA, as well as extensive post Professional Development Programs, I am a AAA member of the Australian Professional Golfer's Association.

With 14 years golf teaching experience this is how I strive to attain results:

1. Draw from all resources (tournaments, seminars, books, media, internet ...) dealing with any part of the game of golf and beyond.

2. Analyze information and test results and ideas in practice.

3. Implement and develop successful training routines.

4. Pass my knowledge onto other players, challenge them beyond their current skills within their limits - everybody is different.

Favorite Players: Pre-2000: Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus Post-2000: Rod Pampling, Tiger Woods
