“I focus my coaching mainly on giving the student only the relevant information that they need in order to understand what they need to do, why and how it will lower their scores. To me, how effectively people practice is far more important than how much time they spend on their games as this leads to lower scores faster.”
“I am really looking forward to joining the Professional team at Al Badia Golf Club, driving the Academy forward and meeting all the members and visitors to the club.”

“My coaching philosophy is communication; not only providing golf techniques but also making sure both party understands each other’s ideas in regards to the game of golf. For me, golf has to be an enjoyable sport, not a stressful game”
