In Their Words

"I won, Mark!!! The entire thing. Play-off on hole 18 with the three class winners, and I beat them — one was a scratch player! You have made such a better golfer."

— Message from a player, after their club championship win

"Hit an 85 today — down to a 11.4 handicap. Driver is coming along nicely. Thanks for giving me my golf back."

— Message from a player

"Shot -7, even after going out of bounds on the last hole — and beat my playing partner both on and off the course. The adjustments worked, even with the driver."

— Message from a player

"You told me I had it in me. It's given me the confidence to start working independently on my own game."

The Story

Forty years in, one thing hasn't changed.

I picked up a golf club when I was six years old and was hooked instantly. By sixteen, I was coaching professionally.

Somewhere in those ten years of being coached myself, I decided there was a better way to do it — not the traditional way most coaches teach. So I built my career around that instead.

As a PGA Advanced Professional, I've spent it working with players who already have good hands and real technique — but have never been coached in a way that actually gets the most out of their game. That's where I stand apart.

It's taken me a lifetime to develop the skills I have as a coach — skills built specifically to help you understand your own game, and get more out of it, faster than traditional coaching ever could. It's an open-minded approach, and it's exactly how I get the results I get. My only aim is to guide you to the most effective golf you're capable of playing.

I coached Espen Kofstad to a European Tour card. I've taken young, ambitious players to national championships and on to Division One colleges. Since then, I've worked with players chasing the tour, entrepreneurs and business people looking to raise their performance on and off the course, and golfers who just want to get more out of every round, wherever they play.

Today I host Behind the Swing, and I work with a small number of golfers worldwide, ready to play the game a different way.

"Without him I never would have been able to win the Challenge Tour and qualify for the European Tour."

Mark was my coach when I got back from college in the US. Every practice session was preparation to play golf, and it gave me a great amount of confidence that I was able to hit great shots when I had to.

Every tough shot I've had to hit in a tournament, I have faced in practice — which made it a lot easier to have an edge over the opposition on the last nine holes of a tournament.

The Philosophy

Not the textbook position. Your position.

Most coaching starts the same way — the perfect grip, the perfect alignment, the textbook position. But what happens when you can't get there? What happens when your body, your build, your instincts don't fit the mold?

That's where I differ. I work closely with you to find the most efficient way for you to hit the ball — not the position a textbook says you should be in. If you're open-minded enough to want what's actually best for your game, that's where trust gets built.

That trust is what lets you execute your best shots regardless of conditions, regardless of circumstances, regardless of whether the fundamentals look "correct." The only goal is producing your best golf under pressure — and knowing exactly how you did it.

Golf is like life — you pick a target in the distance, and find your own best way to get there.

How you show up off the course is how you show up on it.

For anyone who needs to perform when it matters. In the boardroom, at home, standing over the ball — it's no different. It's being able to get yourself into a position where you can fully execute what's in front of you — present, and able to do it.

I study you. I watch what you do. I show you exactly where the change happens — so you execute under pressure, in every part of your life.

I built this over forty years of watching swings under pressure. Golf isn't the limit of what I do — it's the proof.

A tour player who wants someone watching their team. An academy or coach chasing the edge that sets them apart. A golfer who knows there's more in the tank. Different rooms, same question — what am I missing that only someone watching closely enough could see? In person and online.
