I am a freelance journalist for Golf365, covering opinion, news, course and equipment reviews.

In this role I cover all aspects of the game, with opinion pieces on modern-day equipment, professional and club golf and the state of the game.

I began my journalist career at the Press Association (Teletext Sport) before moving to BBC Sport (Ceefax and online) and later Sky Sports where I was in charge of the golf output.

About

I then worked for two national golf titles (National Club Golfer and Lady Golfer) where I worked across all areas of the game and wrote columns for Charley Hull, Laura Davies, Colin Montgomerie and Robert Rock.

Since 2020 I’ve worked as a freelance journalist, working for the likes of Golf Monthly, the PGA and Moortown GC where I’m a member and have a handicap of 6. I’ve played over 300 courses around the world.

I was born and raised in London and have a degree in Sports Studies.
