What my clients say
I'd been stuck around an 8/9 handicap for years. After working with Roger on key areas of my game, I've cut three shots in just 12 months. His mix of technical coaching and psychology is spot on, he explains things clearly and at the right level. I'd recommend him to any golfer.
Gary Boyes
The Mind Zone
My golfing ability was lost, the issues needed to be addressed. It didn't take Roger long to identify and correct the problems. His positive and keep it simple teaching approach has improved my all around game consistency and with this has come a 7 shot handicap reduction, to 13, over the last year. Having golf lessons has proved a great investment, I actually enjoy playing again.
Richard Garlick
I have been having lessons with Roger for 10 years and trust him completely with my game. He keeps it clear & simple which makes it easier to transfer onto the course. Would highly recommend for players of all abilities.
