Adrian’s Philosophy
When you accept golf is made up of many different people of differing ages, skill levels and abilities you may have to accept that a ‘one size fits all’ in terms of coaching someone. Depending on where you are in the spectrum of experience a good coach may require a very large ‘toolbox’ of skills and knowledge in order to best help each student.
The novice has different needs to the established player and the aspiring elite player has different requirements to the professional. Some things I do know are – everyone loves the feel of a well-struck shot, nobody enjoys playing badly, and we all ultimately want to hit the ball less often for that perfect round!
The joy of a well struck shot and the personal endeavour to ‘own’ a technique and attitude to produce consistently good golf is the pinnacle that makes the journey of learning and teaching so addictive. My personal satisfaction comes from helping players of every level understand what THEY need to do to enjoy better golf and keep improving. The odd glimpses of success keep us all addictive yet frustrated, elated yet fragile in the pursuit of you against yourself.

Experience gained from years of continued professional development studying the swing, biomechanics and psychology has provided me with a very comprehensive set of skills to assist a broad section of golfers from club to Tour level. My passion for
Every season throws up new theories and technology to measure golf performance which all have their place in the game. The coach has an obligation to understand the intricacies of the game but an equal responsibility to deliver the complexities to the student in their utter simplicity.
