Adrian feels very privileged to be friends with many leading coaches from the UK and USA and is often happy exchanging the latest thoughts and information regarding player performance.
As part of his Continued Professional Development Adrian has achieved ‘Fellow Of the PGA’ status and is still very motivated to research any area of the game including, psychology, short game, biomechanics or anything performance related. 08 saw Adrian re launch The North Region PGA Coaching Conference, this event was a great hit (see articles) with the Region’s PGA members, Adrian and panel of like-minded speakers shared their experience with the gathered delegates and looks set to continue annually.

The Father of The European Tour, Ryder Cup player and Captain, legendary teacher, player, author and man responsible for modern day coaching John Jacobs OBE presented his spell binding coaching wisdom. Little would I know that some 25 years later he would return to his Northern PGA roots and kindly present for me at my own North Region PGA Coaching Conference.

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… READ MORE>>>
