Executive Summary

I have a degree in Tournament Golf and Human Behaviour from the University of Plymouth and think learning and being a student of these disciplines gives me a solid framework from which to give and teach. I have played three seasons of professional tournaments in the Algarve and learned some key takeaways about the nature of professional golf, the importance of being steady, maintaining concentration, having endurance and dealing with the differing pressures of success and failure. I am also actively involved in teaching golf to friends and family. I’m studying the fitness aspect of golf and was taught by Dr Mark Bull on golf biomechanics. My handicap is around 6.4, largely as I’ve had a very long break from the game and then had a 6 month long rotator cuff injury caused by serving during tennis. I’ve begun posting exclusive golf content on a dedicated instagram page and enjoy the video and content side. I want to get the best out of people generally and this is true in my approach to golf.
