ABOUT ME

I began my golfing journey in the early 90's by cutting my teeth playing junior golf at the Warwick Golf Club.  It’s here the passion for golf was to begin.  I played golf all through high school and a number of Greg Norman Junior Golf events across the Darling Downs during that period.

 

After university I was a member of the Townsville Golf Club for a number of years.  I met PGA Member Terry Price and began reconstructing my golf swing.  After hitting it all over the place with more than a few shanks, over a period of 18 months I changed my swing completely.

 

I moved to Melbourne and was under the watchful eye of David Leadbetter Academy Coach, Philip Wright, who caddied for Ian Baker-Finch during the 1980’s and notably went to The 1985 Masters Tournament at Augusta on IBF’s bag.

 

Moving back to Brisbane I sought out a suitable coach and met with Chris Gibson.  Chris has enhanced my solid swing base to produce a number of career best low rounds.  Recently, I have had the pleasure of learning from Jacob Boyce, Asian Tour Player, on the Sunshine Coast. 

​

I have gained a number of Trackman qualifications in recent times.  I practice and coach on Trackman Simulators.  I find the data produced accelerates the learning of your golf swing that raking one ball after another over to hit it on the range just cannot compare with.

​

In 2015, I travelled to St Andrews for the 144th Open Championship. I would highly recommended this trip to any golfer. Playing a bump-and-run 6 iron through the 'Valley of Sin' in front of the 18th green was possibly the most fun I've had playing golf.

 

Booking a lesson with me will give you exposure to almost 25 years playing golf, the different coaching influences imparted on my golfing knowledge as well as the experiences gained playing courses both domestically and internationally.
