| Please give us a brief outline of the path you took to lead you to your current position | I Joined the Gary Player Golf Experience in 2008, I was fortunate to work alongside some of the best coaches in the business, the likes of Richard Kaplan. In many ways GPGE pushed my coaching and experience into hyperdrive.
I moved to Randpark Club in 2017 as Golf Operations Manager, I was very blessed when the Club went through a transformation and the CEO of the Club Francois Swart supported my coaching dream allowing me to move back to coaching and open Blackbird-Golf. Randpark Coaching Professionals with friend and business partner Darren Witter (Golfers Masterclass) was also born at the same time. We continue to push coaching boundaries and have since opened Gets Golf and Wellputt in South Africa.
