With a strong belief that communication & golf education is key to golfing success, Ben understands breaking down all aspects of the game to suit all level golfers. His continued passion for education has seen him become TPI certified with a brief coaching stint in China at an International Academy.

With 8 years’ experience as a PGA Professional Zac has developed his knowledge and skills of the game to pass onto anyone looking to see a significant improvement in their game.

As part of your lesson, Zac uses video analysis to provide detailed feedback of your swing, while also providing a range of drills and skill development techniques to go away and work on between lessons.

Zac believes the key to any lesson is communication and being able to work with a player to help understand their goals and technique to ensure quality results and improved performance. He can help players of all levels, from beginners looking to learn the fundamentals of the game to experienced players looking to sharpen their skills and take their game to the next level.

“I think it is extremely important to not only provide clients with feedback on their technique and drills to improve their game but also provide a fundamental understanding of the golf swing. I work with clients to help them understand their own game and together we achieve positive results”.
