It’s a lot easier for me to talk about my coaching philosophy than myself which is covered in A Better Way section.

I found the game trying to generate a bit of spending money searching for balls  and selling them to the shop at Golf City in Palmerston North, one day Warren the owner gave us a half set of clubs each instead of payment and off we went and a love affair started that has continued for nearly 40 years. 

I begun working in the pro shop at Manawatu Golf Club pretty much the day I turned 15 and my apprenticeship to become a professional at 18.

My focus was very much on playing through my 20’s and 30’s, fortunate to travel to wonderful places, play beautiful golf courses and compete with a lot of talented players. During the time received great coaching along with working with specialists in biomechanics, physiology, psychology which was the ideal base to work from when I shifted to coaching full time in 2010.
