Online golf lessons with a PGA Professional

Film your swing on your phone, send it to me and get a personal video lesson back, with drills and a clear plan. The same coaching I give golfers in person at Keele, wherever you play in the world.

Is online coaching right for you?

It suits golfers who want expert help but can't always get to a lesson.

  • You live too far from Keele for regular lessons in person, wherever you are in the world.
  • Your week is busy, so you'd rather practise when it suits you than fit around a lesson time.
  • You practise on your own and want to know you're working on the right thing.
  • You like having a lesson you can rewatch as often as you need.
  • You want feedback on your swing at the range or course where you actually play.
  • You want to try my coaching before travelling to see me.

I'm a PGA Professional with over 18 years of coaching experience. I've been selected by the PGA and the R&A to coach the public at 11 Open Championships, the AIG Women's Open and the 2023 Ryder Cup.

Online, I coach exactly the way I do in person: find the real cause of your bad shots, keep it simple, and give you one or two clear priorities with drills you can do on your own.

Online coaching questions

What do I need to get started?

A smartphone and somewhere to hit balls, like a driving range, practice ground or net. A cheap phone tripod makes filming much easier, but a friend holding your phone works too.

How do I film my swing?

Film a few swings from two angles: face-on, looking at your chest, and down the line, looking towards the target from behind your hands. If you're not sure, just message me and I'll talk you through it.

Does online coaching really work?

Yes. Because your lesson is a video you can rewatch, many golfers find they remember more than from a lesson in person. You also get drills, a practice plan and messaging support, so you're never left guessing.

Can I cancel or change my plan?

Yes. All monthly plans are cancel anytime, with no minimum term, and you can move between plans as your needs change.

Why are prices in US dollars?

Online coaching is paid through Skillest, which charges in US dollars. Your bank converts it automatically, so you pay in pounds as normal.

Can I mix online and in-person coaching?

Yes. Many golfers see me at Keele Golf Centre and use online lessons in between. Have a look at all coaching options, or book a free chat and we'll work out what suits you.
