Golf Insights and Professional Coaching Methodologies
A look behind the scenes at my coaching process, the gear I trust, and the technical principles that drive my instruction.
My short game task book, "Inside 30 Yards," is for golfers who are tired of aimless practice. It contains 75 structured drills to help you clean up your scorecard by improving your chipping, bunker play, and putting.
A look at what's in my golf bag, coach's edition. I carry 14 clubs, alignment sticks, a towel, water, tees, extra gloves, and a couple of my favorite training aids to be ready for any practice session.
There is nothing better than a sunny afternoon, freshly mowed grass, and a bucket of balls. This is where the hard work happens and improvements are made.
I am super stoked to announce my partnership with Cobra Golf and Puma Golf as a Brand Ambassador. It is an honor to be associated with a global brand that supports world-class players and coaches.
Here I am giving a presentation on ball flight dynamics to fellow PGA of India professionals. Understanding the relationship between club face and path is essential for any coach to diagnose issues and help players improve.
During my presentation, I discussed the nine possible ball flights and what causes them. A straight shot is an illusion; understanding how to control curvature is the key to consistent golf.
It is critical to understand that the ball starts closer to the club face angle, not the swing path. This is a fundamental concept of ball flight that informs how I teach and correct a player's shots.
About Additional Work & Insights
If you’re stuck at the range hitting balls without a clear objective, you aren't practicing—you are just exercising. My 'Inside 30 Yards' methodology is built on 75 specific, actionable tasks designed to replace aimless swinging with meaningful practice, helping you lower your scores on the course.
Effective golf coaching isn't about repeating generic tips. It is about diagnosing the relationship between club face, swing path, and ball flight. My teaching philosophy, which I share with my students and fellow professionals at the PGA of India, centers on the D-Plane and understanding why a ball curves. Whether I am conducting a seminar on ball flight dynamics or analyzing a student's video, the focus remains on root cause identification rather than treating the symptom.
My short game methodology, 'Inside 30 Yards', was born from seeing too many golfers waste time at the range. Practice is only useful if it has a specific goal. This book provides 75 structured tasks to transform how you practice chipping, putting, and bunker shots. You stop hitting balls and start managing your scorecard.
As a Cobra-Puma Golf Brand Ambassador, I am constantly testing new gear and refining how equipment influences swing mechanics. When we work together, I bring this full spectrum of knowledge—from high-level club fitting and ball physics to simple, actionable drills—directly to your practice routine. If you want to stop guessing why your shots go sideways and start building a repeatable, predictable swing, let’s get to work.
