2025 Qld PGA Coach of the Year - High Performance

I am an advanced certified Australian PGA Professional. I am passionate about helping students who are serious about committed practice and improvement. I offer specialised training programs and ongoing performance analysis.

My coaching style focuses on impact and how that relates to ball flight. I believe every golfer has their own DNA as I term it, and I like to work with each individual differently according to their concepts and body capabilities.

I coach a number of players on tours around the world including Lucas Herbert LIV Tour, Karis Davidson LPGA Tour and Kerry Mountcastle Australasian PGA Tour. I also coach and mentor a number of Australia’s elite junior players, including Ellianna MacRae (Peregian Springs), Liam Howlett (Royal Melbourne) and Ruby Fisher (Peregian Springs).
