Golf has always been my passion and if I was not lucky enough to be doing it for a job I am pretty sure I would be spending every spare second on the golf course anyway. Golf is a fantastic game which everyone should try once.

For the last 5 years I have worked at Royal Eastbourne Golf Club where I have coached players from beginners to low single figured handicappers. Recently I completed the PGA 4 year training programme with flying colours. During this time of revision I realised how much I love competing and am now totally focused on reaching the highest level of the game, The European Tour. To achieve this over the last 3 years I have been working with former European Tour Player & momentum Coach Carl Watts to improve all aspects of my game. This year has seen a huge improvement within all aspects of my game including pro-am wins & several top 5 finishes! The work is paying off!

My aim for the 2008 season is to play a full season on the Jamega Tour combined with several events on the south region order of merit & Sussex County Union. At the end of the season I will  enter the European Tour Qualifying School at Chart Hills Golf Club.
