Summary

I am a dynamic and dedicated PGA Golf Professional who has excelled in many aspects of the golf industry during a career that has spanned over three decades.

As a former tour player I have participated in tournaments at the highest professional level notably winning the South African PGA Championships and more recently exchanging blows with the best senior golfers in the world at the Senior Open Championship in 2021.

My passion for coaching across all levels is evident and I have worked hard to earn my reputation of being able to significantly enhance student performance whether it be individually or as a group.

I believe therefore with the experience I have gained as a player coupled with exceptional teaching skills, I bring to the table a desirable blend of strategic coaching ability and competitive success ensuring unparalleled service and enjoyment for all levels of golfers.
