About
Certified, passionate, and committed to making golf accessible for every young person in Auckland.
Certified coach. Genuine passion for the game.
Golf taught me patience, focus, and the quiet satisfaction of getting better at something. My mission is to give every school student in Auckland that same experience. I have founded my own Golf Coaching Business as well as being offered the role of Official Golf Coach at Auckland University (2026).
As a certified golf teaching professional (NZGTF), I provide personalised golf coaching for players of all ages and skill levels, individuals and groups. I specialise in helping golfers improve their technique, confidence, and overall enjoyment of the game through clear, practical instruction and tailored training plans.
Currently working independently, I offer private lessons designed to suit each player's goals: from beginners learning the fundamentals to advanced players fine-tuning their performance. My focus is on making golf accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone.
Making golf accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone
Every decision I make as a coach flows from this principle. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Fun First
Every session is designed to be genuinely enjoyable — games, challenges, and real wins.
Credible & Safe
NZGTF certification means structured, proven teaching methods. Parents and school staff can trust that every session meets professional standards.
Supportive
Golf rewards patience. My coaching creates a culture where trying is celebrated and every small improvement — a better grip, a cleaner chip — is recognised.
Sessions built around you
GoGolf sessions cover the full scope of the game — from the short game foundations of chipping and putting through to iron play, full swing mechanics, and on-course decision making. Whether you're picking up a club for the very first time or looking to sharpen a specific part of your game, every session is structured around your current level and goals.
Each session is hands-on and practical. We work through technique, build consistency, and focus on the skills that create real improvement. Sessions are available for individuals and groups, and can be run on any open grassed area, a driving range, or a course.
