Personalized Golf Coaching for Every Skill Level
I help you find your natural swing, not a textbook one. Whether you are hitting the range for the first time or want to shave strokes off your game, we focus on tempo, posture, and rhythm to make golf feel like second nature.
Fitness is just one part of the equation. I also provide on-course coaching to help you integrate your newfound strength and body awareness into your technique, from driving to bunker play.
A simple drill to perfect the body turn. I guide my students through exercises that isolate key parts of the golf swing, making it easier to build correct muscle memory.
It's never too late or too early to improve your game and your health. I am passionate about making golf accessible and enjoyable for everyone, coaching players of all ages to find their best swing.
Golf is like music; it's all about tempo. Here, I'm demonstrating drills that help golfers find their natural rhythm and a smooth, repeatable swing.
I offer both residential and non-residential summer golf camps for all ages. These programs include skill development, golf-related fitness, and yoga to provide a holistic learning experience.
About this collection
You do not need to be a club member to learn with me. I coach at both KGA and Coorg Golf Links, and my focus is simple: your tempo. We will not overcomplicate your game with technical jargon that makes you freeze up. Instead, we will work right on the course or the driving range to make your swing feel like a natural, rhythmic extension of your body, tailored specifically to how you move.
Golf is often made to feel like a high-barrier sport, but my approach is the opposite. Whether you are three years old or seventy-five, the basics of a good swing remain the same: awareness and body control.
My Coaching Approach
My sessions are designed to move you away from 'paralysis by analysis.' We spend our time on the driving range or the course working on the feel of the clubhead and the rotation of your body.
- Focus on Tempo: Just like music, your swing needs a rhythm. We drill this until it is repeatable.
- Posture & Alignment: We strip back the complex theories and fix your setup so that your body is naturally positioned to strike the ball cleanly.
- Accessibility: I am passionate about making this game available to everyone. Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced player looking to fix a specific flaw, we keep the environment inclusive and low-pressure.
Where We Train
I am currently conducting lessons at two iconic locations:
- Karnataka Golf Association (KGA), Bengaluru: Perfect for city-based learning and honing your skills throughout the week.
- Coorg Golf Links, Kodagu: A beautiful setting for more intensive, immersive sessions.
I offer everything from single drop-in sessions if you just want to test the waters, to monthly squad memberships if you are ready to commit to real progress. If you are nervous about starting, just know that I have taught everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned players. Let's get on the range and actually enjoy the process of getting better.
