Mike originally comes from New Zealand and is a NZPGA Certified Professional with 10 years of coaching experience across all levels of the game, from complete beginners through to scratch golfers.
Patient, passionate and approachable, Mike’s coaching philosophy is centred around helping golfers develop a greater love and understanding of the game through a simple, clear and individualised approach. He understands that every golfer is different and tailors each session to the individual, rather than following a “one swing fits all” model.
With 30 years of playing experience, Mike has a thorough understanding of the game and a keen eye for identifying the areas that can make the biggest difference to a golfer’s performance. Whether that means addressing swing faults, building solid fundamentals or helping a golfer think their way around the course, his aim is always to make instruction as clear, practical and enjoyable as possible.
Mike was also a selector for the New Zealand Men’s and Olympic teams for six years, giving him valuable experience at the highest levels of the game.
His extensive knowledge of the golf swing, combined with his calm and relaxed demeanour, makes Mike a coach who can help golfers of all abilities develop their game and enjoy their time on the course.
Whether you’re starting from scratch, looking to strip your swing back to the core fundamentals, or simply want a one-off session before that all-important golf trip, get in touch with Mike at Pitch Wharf and start moving your game in the right direction.
Mike coaches Monday – Friday at Pitch Wharf.
Each lesson at Pitch lasts for 50 minutes and includes video analysis with comprehensive lesson notes provided after the session.
