Well he's certainly got great experience in the game and has coached many talented young players and professionals including many of today’s European Tour players including Sandy Lyle, Scott Drummond, Steve Webster, John Bickerton, Anthony Wall, Gary Wolstenholme, Russell Claydon and others.
Keith was National Coach & Director of Coaching for the English Golf Union for 9 years and he played a major role in the development of training programmes throughout the EGU training system.
Since 2000 he has worked closely with the Sport England Lottery funded World Class Performance Programme for elite amateur golfers on England squads and has travelled with players around the world coaching and supporting their tournament efforts.
In 2002, he won the coveted PGA of Europe 5 Star Professional Award and in 2004 was voted one of Golf Monthly’s Top 25 Coaches.
