//PHILOSOPHY
I prefer to avoid the one dimensional coaching method of just fault fixing. I believe knowing the player is much more important than fixing a fault. We are humans after all, not machines… so I try to get to know as much about a player as possible including their learning style (visual, auditory or kinaesthetic), their fitness and flexibility levels and how their mind works.
Every player has scope to improve by either working physically on swing mechanics, increasing their understanding of how to maximise their score, learning how to practice productively or simply increasing their confidence standing on the first tee.
There are multiple ways to tackle a golf course from Jim Furyk’s precision and accuracy method to the more artistic and natural approach used by Seve Ballesteros. The most important factors in my opinion are having a consistent pre shot routine, knowing your club distances, knowing the course, understanding your limitations, controlling your emotions and being realistic about your expectations.
Golf is a great analogy of life where we must make choices and cope with the frustration and elation that are the consequences of these choices. I try to give my clients the tools to cope with this challenge and enable them to enjoy this great game.

GOLF
TOUR
The aim of the EZGO Tour is create a fun, regional golf tour for children where they get to experience the excitement of playing different courses and meet other players and share their thoughts and ideas on the game. Set up in 2008 by Mike Dodd, the tours’ title sponsor is EZGO Golf Buggies who supply prizes to all the participants.
Due to the success of recent tours in Dorset, during 2017 several new counties will be rolling out the scheme under golf professionals. The tour offers pupils divisions and trophies are awarded to the top two golfers in each age group at each event. There are also perpetual trophies that will have the overalls winners names engraved on to them. The events are open to all standards and special rules apply to the tour events to encourage new players.
