The Crown & Mane Approach

More Than Lessons. A Real Development Plan.

One-off lessons don't build golfers. My juniors follow a structured path that develops how they move, how they practise, and how they perform — in the studio and on the course.

Athletic First, Then Technical

Every junior is different. Using TPI-certified movement principles, I build a swing around how your child's body actually moves — developing coordination, mobility and athleticism that carry far beyond golf.

It's age-appropriate, it's safe, and it keeps the game fun while the fundamentals lock in for life.

Progress You Can Actually See

Range reps only matter if they show up when it counts. Juniors learn strategy, scoring and how to handle pressure — in real rounds in season, and in competition at our events all winter.

Every junior has a Crown Index: one score from 0 to 100 across physical, skill, process and scoring, retested so you both watch it move. It lives in the app next to their plan.

01

Athletic Movement

TPI-based screening and age-appropriate physical development.

02

Skill Development

Full swing, short game and putting built on real fundamentals.

03

On-Course Learning

Course management, scoring and real-round performance.

04

Data-Driven Feedback

05

Confidence & Mindset

06

A Clear Pathway

The Crown & Mane App

The Whole Family Sees the Plan.

Every junior member gets the Crown & Mane app, and so do their parents. It's where the plan lives between sessions — what to practise and for how long — plus their progress, their Crowns, the event season and a direct line to me.

Parent Questions

What Parents Ask Most

How do we get started?

Book a free 15-minute intro call. If it's a fit, the next step is a 90-minute Player Assessment ($195): movement, swing, strike and scoring measured, your junior's first Crown Index, and a recommendation on which program fits.

What ages do you coach?

Juniors from first-timers to competitive teens. Events are for ages 7–17, split into younger and older groups. The assessment places your child in the right group and program for where they are now.

What's the difference between the memberships and the Performance Lab?

Coaching time and how much is included. Develop is 60 minutes of private coaching a month with a plan in the app. Perform doubles that and adds the junior group — it's where most juniors start. Elite is 240 minutes a month for tournament players. The Performance Lab is the all-in year: weekly group training, two individual sessions a month, the on-course program and free entry to every junior event.

Do you have 6-month or annual plans?

Yes. Develop and Perform come monthly, as a 6-month plan paid up front (about 4% off), or annual (one month free). Elite is monthly or annual. Monthly plans have a 3-month minimum, then run month to month.

Can my child just come to the events?

Yes — the event season is open to everyone. Members pay less, Performance Lab juniors come free, and you can buy a Season Pass or a bootcamp bundle. Everything is on the events page, where you register and pay in a minute.

What's the Crown & Mane app?

Every junior member and their parents get it. It holds the development plan and timed practice sessions, the Crown Index, the Pride Board and Crowns, event results and season points, bookings, and a message thread with me. It works on any phone — add it to your home screen like an app. Swing video stays in CoachNow.

Is the Pride Board safe for kids?

It's opt-in by a parent or guardian. Only a first name and last initial, the peer group, milestones and verified golf numbers are shown — and you can opt out any time.

Does my child need their own clubs?

Not to start. Beginners are welcome to come as they are — we'll make sure your junior has what they need, and I'm happy to advise on age- and size-appropriate equipment as they progress.

Can they train year-round, even in winter?

Yes. The Lab in Wallingford is a full indoor studio with a golf simulator and Uneekor EYE XR launch monitor, so development never stops when the weather turns — and the winter is when the event season and the PGA Jr. League simulator league run.

Do you have a referral program?

Yes. Every family gets a personal invite in the app. Friends you send save $25 on their first event; you get $25 in credit when they come and $50 when they start a membership.
