About me

Performance coach

I've loved golf for over 20 years and am lucky enough to be a member at St Andrews, North Berwick and Kingston Heath. As a player I often felt frustated with my own game and between 2014 and 2018 I decided to complete a Performance Psychology MSC at Edinburgh University to better understand how to improve.

​

After researching practice methods and pre-shot routines in depth alongside a European tour coach, I realised that the way the game is generally taught does not necessarily lend itself to better scores. I wanted to create something that would benefit elite players, but also the club golfer who doesn't have hours to practice. I know that this on course, filmed process, will improve your scores within weeks and allow you to have more fun with the tools you already have. I'm excited to see the improvement and watch you Pure Your Process!

Why filming on course?

Pure Your Process

Why filming on course?
Filming preshots

Preshots are a window into your mental state. We get to see where your body and mind are over the ball in an actual round! This film alongside your feedback helps me to rejuvenate your preshots.

Pressure

Unlike a usual lesson, it's on course and under a wee bit of pressure, so we will see what you actually do under the gun!

Ecologial validity

Actual golf so various lies, weather, stances and shots! Real and valid feedback, unlike a perfect driving range situ!

Putting

Putting is a game within a game. We look both at your putting preshots, but also at your mental approach to putting in general. Which part of the brain are you putting from? How do you visualise? Where is your focus of attention? This is not technical stuff - no lasers here, but it is probably the easiest way to shave shots off your game.

Course strategy

3wood or Driver? How well do you think on course? Do you have a clear intention before every shot? 

Self talk

What's your attitude like? Are you your own worst enemy? Are you killing your scores and your enjoyment? Learn to think and talk your way to better scores and more fun.

“The biggest thing is seeing your pre-shots on camera under pressure - I couldn't believe how inconsistent I was over my putts. Now I have a structure, i'm more comfortable and i'm in a better place mentally regardless of the outcome."

- Joe Lockie, Course record holder, North Berwick
