A golf coach that gives a damn

So how do I help you lower your golf scores?

Before I started golf coaching I had a ‘real’ job. I played golf at the weekends and occasionally during the week in summer.

Knowing what I know now, I did everything wrong trying to get better at golf.

I read magazines for tips, watched you tube for tips, took occasional golf lessons & practiced by hitting balls aimlessly with the same club. All the time looking for the quick fix for my game.

Very occasionally I would find a snippet of information that would ‘work’, fleetingly, however most of the time I stepped onto the tee confused by all the information I had digested.

What I will help you discover through my own experiences and years of investment into further education on how golfers learn best, is to get clarity for your own game.

 

When you practice, you will get the most out of your time. It will be specific and focused.

 

When you play, you will have clarity and very few swing thoughts.

 

When you play, you will have better course management & strategy.

 

When you have questions out with lessons I will support you.

 

 

Much like an overhyped CV's I could get carried away with myself and rave about the achievements of all my players, the players I have worked with, qualifications I have and the various talks I have presented. 

But really it isn't about me, it is about you.

 

What I offer is no genie in a bottle, you can't rub me three times and expect to play better golf!

What I offer is good, simple LONG term coaching that helps you play better golf. 

I genuinely care about your golf and you getting better at golf.

I give a damn.

It's not all about me, it's about you, however I suppose some of you may want to know more about me and who, potentially you are going to spend your hard earned cash on! Here you go...

Through years of practical application and research my views are radically different to the main stream golf industries and may challenge some long held beliefs.

I fuse the ‘The Science of Learning’ and real-life coaching to help you discover a clear understanding of how to practically apply information shared together.

I have a Master by Research in Skill Acquisition & Motor Learning, which included interviewing current European Tour Players on their experiences of developing towards and competing on the European Tour, enabling me to share these experiences with players of all levels.

I have coached players of all levels, from complete beginner to European Tour player. I also advise and mentor coaches all over the world and have recently branched into other sports, such as the Rio 2016 Gold winning field hockey U.K. Women’s team on effective practice & technique change. I have also spoken at the English Institute of Sport, World Scientific Golf Conference & several universities on how I practically apply ‘The Science of Learning’ to golf.

‘Peter is without doubt a world leader in the field of skill acquisition and motor learning in golf and sport as a whole. I have been learning from Peter over the last few years and in that time I have seen a tremendous improvement in the outcomes I have been getting with the golfers I work with.’

I came to Pete with my game in dire straights. I was shooting scores regularly in the 100's. In 18mths I had my handicap down to 10 and shot a 73 scratch. Miracle worker!

What I love about Pete's coaching is it is not all about technique, we play golf together. I learn on the glf course as well as doing technical work. Pete also advises me on my practice when I am on my own, my practice time is never boring now. All of this has culminated in me winning my first Professional Tournament as an Amateur, The Paul Lawrie Invitational.

Since first going to see Pete I have seen major improvements in my game. He has changed the way I view my game and gave me a lot of confidence in myself. in 2016 my handicap improved from 4 to 2 and I also won my Club Championship. Highly Recommend!

I came to Pete new to golf. What I love about Pete's guidance is it is not overly complicated and we spend loads of time on the golf course. Pete's lessons are fun and informative. Over the course of four years with Pete, I have joined a golf club, got my first handicap and had my first hole in one!

What I love about Pete's coaching is he doesn't over complicate things, sees me play golf and any tecnhnical work we do is not about how pretty my swing looks all about how it functions. In 2015 I had best season for a while winning the Silverknowes Club Championship and handicap open. Highly Recommend!

I started working with Pete towards the end of another frustrating season of inconsistent scores and erratic ball striking. He has helped my quality of my ball striking hugely. Going into the season I was playing off 12 I am now going to finish it on 8.

Pete has worked with my Dad and I for a while, Pete has helped me get my handicap from high 20's to 6 in a few years. Last year I won the Junior Club Championship also. Pete makes lessons fun, enjoyable and we spend lot's of time on the golf course. Which I like!
