I started playing golf at 8 years old, thanks to the encouragement of my dad on holidays at Trevose in Cornwall. We used to go round the short course there like clockwork mice! I'm very lucky to be a member at Royal St George's and the hairs still stand up on the back of my neck when driving down the driveway even after 29 years of going there! One of my toughest challenges was at West Cliffs in Portugal. Testing winds, brutal terrain and stunning views provide extra distraction!

My perfect golfing holiday would involve anywhere with good friends, great food, a few beers and preferably links golf! At the top of my bucket list is Dunas Terras da Comporta in Portugal, and I'd love to cross that off someday. Golf for me is about the adventure as much as the sport, and helping others find their own perfect golfing experience is what makes my job so fulfilling.

I have played golf in 14 different countries, from the UK, to Vietnam, USA, Slovenia or Australia and feel very lucky to have played over 200 courses in the process.

Whilst I would describe myself as a traditional golfer who appreciates classic UK and Ireland links courses, I also massively enjoy playing a classic Spanish resort course with groups of mates, or a quirky pitch and putt course with my kids.

I have experienced some of the best work familiarisation trips in my years at Your Golf Travel, from Mauritius to Vietnam, Sawgrass to the Masters, plus many of Europe's top destinations.
