At the age of 12 I joined Boyce Hill Golf Club in Benfleet, Essex as a cadet member where I represented the club at first team level, I also represented the Essex County Boys Team where we toured America on one occasion.

I worked with my father at Belfairs after school and every weekend to learn the ropes of a Golf Professional, from a very early age I knew I wanted to follow my father into the Profession, this I achieved once my Handicap was at the standard the PGA required, I turned professional when I was 18 and worked with my father as one of his Assistant Golf Professionals. I became a fully qualified Golf Professional after 3 years training. Within this time I played in numerous golf events of which winning the Essex Assistants Match Play and Stroke Play were one of my most memorable moments.

My ambition became true when I took over from my father at Belfairs Golf Course in 1995 as Head Professional where I was based until 2002, I then chose to concentrate on the teaching side and I moved to Leigh Driving Range where I became the resident Teaching Professional.

Over the years I have built up a large client base not only from visitors to the range but also members from many local golf clubs.

I like to think my simple approach to teaching the game of golf would appeal to the vast majority of club players, we are not all ‘Tiger Woods’ however rest assured I will get the best out of your potential ability and hopefully you will enjoy “The Game of Golf”.
