About Me
My golfing journey, so far...
I've been playing and coaching professionally for over 30 years now, having been introduced to the game when I was 13 and then turning professional at the sport when I was 17.
After qualifying as a full member of the PGA
(Professional Golfers' Association), I then played on the LET (Ladies European Tour) for over a decade.
Another decade (plus!) has since passed, and I'm proud to proclaim that I'm one of very few golf coaches who has been accredited with PGA Advanced Professional status.
I'm based at Colmworth Golf Club, one of the friendliest golf courses in Bedfordshire!
Colmworth Golf Club is situated in North Bedfordshire, but is also very close to the borders of both Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire, and is only minutes away from the roads network of the A1, M1, A14 and the A6.
Lake View Osteopathy Clinic is also based at Colmworth Golf Club in Bedfordshire.
As someone who has suffered on and off with a 'bad back', Lake View Osteopathy Clinic has been my 'crutch' over recent years, as one of their specialist areas is golfing injuries, so I can fully recommend their services!
About You
If you'd like to enjoy the all round health and social
benefits that golf has to offer, make highly effective use of your leisure and recreational time, and have a great sense of achievement and huge fulfillment in your life, then please...
About Golf
Golf is better than a fast and furious gym session!
Golf combines all the known weight-loss benefits of walking, combined with the toning and muscle strengthening benefits of swinging your golf clubs and carrying/pulling
your golf bag/golf trolley.
Golf brings people closer together
If you have recently moved into the area,
then golf is a great way to meet new people.
A host of rewarding new friendships awaits you,
friendships that are likely to flourish, thanks to the warm atmosphere of the game itself and the ready-made
social life at the clubhouse afterwards.
Golf helps combat stress
Golf ticks all the right boxes when it comes to optimal
well-being, as it offers some important feel-good factors, such as an active social life and regular physical activity
of the best kind – ‘green exercise’ outside in nature.
Golf is good for your heart
Golf’s powerful combination of stress-busting exercise,
fresh air and camaraderie can help promote long term
heart health - it can reduce blood pressure and raised cholesterol, and cut your risk of stroke and diabetes, especially if combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Golf can help you live longer
Golf’s unique combination of outdoor exercise and
social interaction can help you live a longer, healthier life.
Indeed, a recent study has reported that playing golf can actually increase your life expectancy by up to five years.
Regular walking, such as the four hours it typically takes to play 18 holes of golf, can help ward off dementia too.
Me-Time
Golf gives you a precious space of your own that can help you recharge your batteries and alleviate stress.
Its unique combination of fresh air, exercise and socialising means it can help calm your worries, keep you healthy
and give you a better perspective.
Learning something new and progressing with the sport
will provide you with a great sense of achievement as well.
Learn new skills
Golf helps develop lifelong skills beyond
simply hitting a ball into the hole.
These include working with and respecting others, leadership, listening and commitment.
In addition, learning something new is great for keeping
your brain healthy and your well-being on track.
Get active - Get into golf
If you, like far too many others, are spending over 6 hours
a day sitting at your desk, then this will be having
a very detrimental effect on your health.
It's time to take action...

My Coaching Philosophy
My Coaching Philosophy
My Coaching Philosophy
I strongly believe that everyone has an aptitude for golf, and so, I'm eager to introduce this wonderful sport to all.
I love having the opportunity to nurture talent, improve ability and generally increase people's overall enjoyment of the game.
My coaching methodology is to simplify fundamentals of the golf swing and to focus on specific areas of the game to enhance pupils and a players' capabilities. Golfers require consistency and this is greatly accomplished by my simplifying parts of the game that I regard as having become "unnecessarily complicated".
I also believe strongly in the significance of a solid short-game and focus on this aspect with my players and pupils.
