I have a philosophy of leaving no stone unturned and making my training as top quality as possible. To help me achieve this I have a team of world class coaches which cover a variety of areas and work with them throughout the season.
Coach: Clive Tucker
Clive is recognised as one of Europe’s top coaches. He coaches many tour professionals including Graeme Mcdowell and David Howell which has seen him attend multiple Major Championships and Ryder Cups. He is based at Wildwood GC in Surrey.
I began working with Clive at the end of August 2011 and I am already excited by some of the progress we are making in my game!
Psychologist: Lee Crombleholme
Lee is based at High Legh Golf Club and has worked with European Tour players on tour and at Major championships. He uses a variety of cutting edge techniques and exercises to aid performance and has been more than valuable in my career to date.
Since we began working in 2006 I have made great progress in my mental game and have enjoyed some fantastic performances as a result.
Fitness coach/Physio: Lynn Booth
Lynn has a CV to match anyone, she has been head physiotherapist for team GB at 3 Olympic games as well as attending the games on a number of other occasions! She has also worked with the England golf squads for a number of years. As a result she has worked with a number of world class athletes and brings fantastic experience to my coaching team in terms of training as well as fitness.
I have worked with Lynn for many years now and my fitness has continued to improve to a high level. I feel fortunate to be able to call on such a world class coach in this area.
Strength and Conditioning: Mike Hughes/Underground Training Station
On Lynn’s recommendation I began using the fantastic facility at UTS in October 2010. It is a gym with a difference and has a number of circuit training classes which get you training like an athlete! Recently I started one on one sessions with the head S+C coach Mike Hughes. Mike has a wealth of experience working with top class athletes and is working with me on a golf specific programme!
Biomechanics: John Watson
John specialises in 3D golf analysis/biomechanics for Total Golf Analysis and has worked with a number of European tour players in this area. He is based at Styal Golf Club in Cheshire and has helped provide valuable information to aid my technical improvements the last few years. He continues to be a valuable part of my coaching team.
Physiologist: Clare Pheasey
Clare is based at Manchester Metropolitan University and has been part of various England golf squads advising on nutrition and fitness. I have done numerous fitness and nutrition tests with Clare and her students which have helped me set training zones and improve my overall fitness and nutrition to a very good level. I continue to work with both Clare and her students at MMU to further improve in this area.
Caddy: ???
A key area and one that I currently do not have filled! In this position I believe it is important to find a similar personality and someone who I can mould into the type of caddy I’m looking for. Watch this space!
