Bio

Head Pro at Tommy Fleetwood Academy
Formby Hall.

Trained at Royal Birkdale. Here I met John Jacobs and spent 1 day a year with him for 3 years, as I picked up his golf balls on his BMW Golf Days. When no BMW Dealership owners were around for coaching, John spent hours with me. This shaped my own coaching and handling of jnr golfers. John was kind and patient.

My Big break came when 6 year old Tommy Fleetwood walked into my range and I coached him for the next 5 or 6 years. I used a variety of scoring games with Tommy that appealed to me and had developed out of games and challenges I played learning golf as an only child, in my garden.

My coaching is based on these experiences and 2 years i spent in Sweden where this approach was used in tennis and golf. Learning through play.

Using golf, to give back what golf gave me as a shy child, the first sparks of self belief and confidence, is my mission.

I never stop seeking and looking to learn and listen. This platform is a great opportunity to reach out and share, in what can often be an insular, solitary business
