Coaching

David has nearly 15 years teaching experience and prides himself on his holistic approach to coaching. Since beginning his coaching journey, David has looked to broaden his golfing knowledge by furthering his studies in Golf Psychology. 

 

Golf Psychology has become central to David's coaching and is very much part of his coaching philosophy. Since turning Professional David has concentrated on designing a number of Coaching Programmes, focused on developing the players mind as well as their technique for elite performance.

 

In recent years David has experienced a great deal of success as a coach with both individuals and with a team, helping Elsham acheive two National Finals in the same year.

 

Throughout 2022, David completed his PGA Director of Golf Qualification, the Vision54 - SuperGolfer54 course and the SuperCoach54 certification, becoming one of the only Vision54 Certified coaches in the country. 

 

In late 2022, David was appointed as one of the Lead Perofrmance Coaches for the LGGS (Lincolnshire Girls Golf Squad) helping to develop the best young female golfers in the County.

 

In 2023 David was awarded the honours of the PGA in Lincolnshire Coach of the year and Midlands Coach of the Year.
