Qualified PGA Assistant Professional
Joined PGA in 2019

With 25 years of experience playing for County, Junior Tour and most recently at PGA tournaments, Amir is equipped with an appreciation of the highs and lows of the game, both physically and mentally. With this, as a coach he is committed not only to enhance a player’s swing, but to instil self-belief and confidence in their game.
Each session is an opportunity to focus on every individual’s unique attributes, allowing for a bespoke approach to achieve the optimum results. No two players possess the same physical capabilities. Amir’s method focusses on biomechanics, individual physical abilities and the use of specific techniques to positively impact each player’s game.
PGA: ASQ Level 1 Award in Coaching Golf
“I’ve been recovering from a shoulder injury for about three years and my golf had gone to pieces. Other professionals had not been able to help much. Amir’s overall approach to teaching has improved my ball striking considerably, best for over two years.” – Richard J. (25.06.21)
“Amir has been really helpful in making big strides in my golf game. He will mould your game to suit your best attributes, whilst also being relatable and an all-round top guy! Would absolutely recommend to anyone trying to add consistency to their game.” – Alex H. (25.06.21)
“I used to think that it would be possible to learn how to play golf by watching YouTube tutorials. However, these were quite confusing and I made little progress over the past two years. After meeting Amir and having taken several lessons with him, I can say with confidence that he is a wonderful coach with patience, much experience and offers very useful advice. My golf has now significantly improved thanks to the skills that he has taught me.” – Jackson F. (25.06.21)

International Golf Coach at Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort 2019.
PGA Level 1 Golf Coaching Award 2023.
“My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Jerome in Turkey at Kaya Palazzo where we were members. He coached us for four months in all facets of the game. During this period, we both reduced our handicaps from 25 to under 20. He used simple techniques with good explanations that were easy to absorb and implement practically. His courteous, calm and professional demeanour and attitude greatly contributed to increasing our passion for golf. We highly recommend Jerome as the perfect golf teacher.” – Aylin & Lars
