History

Since I started my golfing journey at 14 years old I wanted to find out if there was a secret or “MASTER KEYS” to great golf, it is my passion. Why are some players better than others, what do they do differently to make them better?

It is an interesting journey of learning, and discovering the facts, not unproven opinions. So I am always seeking the best information possible. With that aim I have sought out the best coaches in the game, forty of the top fifty as voted in Golf Digest & Golf Magazine. So I can improve my knowledge and you, as my student, will learn in the best way possible for you, and most importantly you will get great pleasure and satisfaction from learning to play this great game of golf.

I have been fortunate to learn from so many great teachers over the years whose expertise covers the swing, short game, putting gurus, mind coaches, fitness & biomechanics experts. I continue to research and learn in order to improve my knowledge.
