Born in Melbourne, Australia, I reside in Greenville, South Carolina. I have played the professional golf tours of the United States, Europe, Japan and my homeland Australia since 1988.
I have been fortunate to have some success as a golfer winning some important events and representing my country in International team events.
I decided after 20 years of travel to spend more time at home with my family. I now look forward to teaching golf and passing on many of the lessons I have learned from the greats of the game to people who are searching to improve their golf ability, whatever their standard of golf.
Come inside and enjoy the journey as I talk about the many facets of this great game of golf. I will give you some insights about life on the road and about the many people I have met and great golf courses and cities of the world I have had the pleasure of visiting throughout my travels.
What a great way to learn about life. To be able to travel the world experiencing different cultures, different food and different scenery and do it all whilst playing a game you truly love and enjoy !

I would like to thank all the people who have been there for me every day- good or bad
My parents especially for all they have done and continue to do, my sister Natalie and brother-in-law Marcus, my wife Kelly and all her family, and a few of my closest friends who have always been there no matter the circumstance- Robo, Turtle, Gazz, Eddie, Brit, Hammo, Bobhead, Marty,Snelly, Fran, KK, Baron, Kev D, & Lag... To my children- I Love You
