I’m the founder of PUREGOLF ACADEMY and a seasoned PGA Professional with a mission to share my love for golf and help enthusiasts like you reach their full potential on the course.
When I first began teaching in 1996 I based my instruction on the knowledge I had gained over the years of playing golf and taking lessons myself, it didn’t take long until I intended to give my clients golf instruction that was easy to understand but very effective.
Reflecting back on all the lessons I had been given was important for me to decide the key elements of my coaching and more importantly what I wanted the client to experience. There were lessons I came away from not understanding what I was being asked to do, with no drills or good practice routines, not excited or enthusiastic to practice and feel a desire to improve, no lesson notes. Obviously, I did have the other experiences that I would be proud to replicate and some of the skills I have are as a direct result from working with some excellent coaches.
Naming my Academy Pure Golf was my intention around seven years ago. It was common to hear my clients discussing articles with me they had read, or advice they had been given and I often thought “I need to be Einstein to understand and apply these ideas and instructions.”
The golf swing is a three dimensional movement with the end result hitting the ball where you want it to go – it has been this way for years and will always remain that way. Although biomechanics and golf fitness has become more publicised over recent years the swing principles remain the same.
Pure Golf is my style of coaching and my ulitmate goal is for every pupil to understand what it is I would like them to do and how to do it every time they complete a lesson.
