“Both my two eldest children and I have lessons with Tom and would wholeheartedly recommend him. Personally speaking, Tom has a genuine interest in my game and is honest with me on where I need to improve. The lessons are clear, interactive and very relaxed. This isnt ‘off the shelf’ coaching. Its very tailored to my needs. In the last year I have seen my handicap come down and every aspect of my game improve. For the kids, Tom is fantastic. The sessions are really fun and very easy for the lads to understand. They are both learning the game and loving every minute of it. We would all thoroughly recommend Tom as a coach.”

“Having tried and failed to learn to play golf a few years ago I knew that environment and coaching approach would be important when deciding to give it another go. Having joined "The Ladies New to Golf" programme at Abbeydale G.C. and been fortunate enough to be assigned Tom as my coach, I instantly knew I'd made the right decision.
His approach to coaching is relaxed, professional but most of all fun. He has the ability to instill confidence that I can hit shots that I was convinced that I would never be able to do.
When things don't go to plan, Tom has a style that leads me to my own conclusions about why that may be and his sessions are always interactive. I've never once felt intimidated, which is such an important part of learning. I always leave the coaching sessions energised and feeling positive, having focussed on what went well.
I'm totally in love with a game that I thought I hated and that is down to Tom - Thank-you!”

“I’ve been taking lessons with Tom for over a year now in which time I’ve come down from a 17 handicap to single figures. Tom is a great instructor who takes a genuine interest in the progression of his students. He always takes the time to explain what he’s looking for and makes sure you fully understand why certain things might be happening in the golf swing. Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned golfer I can’t recommend Tom enough.”
Josh Hunt
“Tom always has a ready smile and a positive outlook which encourages confidence. He took time during my first session to understand my golf game and what I wanted to achieve from his coaching. He encouraged me to set realistic attainable goals and together sets a plan to achieve this, and tracks progress. Tom is always looking for feedback during the lessons so he knows how well I am understanding and if he thinks I'm not quite getting it will find other ways to put things over. Through this two way process I now have a far better understanding of my own swing and how to improve it. Above all Tom has a great sense of humour and creates a fun learning environment whether in the studio, on the practice ground, or the course.”
Jill Macdonald
“Having played golf for most of my adult life (I'm now classed as a senior) and continuing to make the same mistakes year after year, I thought it was time to have some lessons for the first time ever so I went to see Tom. I wish I'd have done this a long time ago. Within a couple of lessons I felt far more confident and my ball striking improved considerably. Tom quickly realised where I was going wrong and put me right, without radically changing my swing.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tom, and have done to a couple of my player partners, both of whom have seen improvements in their own game. His relaxed but informative method of teaching puts me at ease, making the lessons highly enjoyable and not a chore.”
David Saxby
“I’ve been coached by Tom for around 1 year now and he’s been invaluable to helping my bring down my scores and overall improve my game. Whether in the swing studio or out on the range, he’s great at explaining the swing mechanics in detail without over-complexifying and gives simple drills to work on outside of the lessons. He’s really given me the confidence to attempt new shots on the course - crucial to lowering my handicap!”
