The Inner Game Approach

Play Better Golf by Thinking Less, Not More

Meet Richard

Based in Stafford, I am a qualified golf coach with over 40 years of playing experience. My coaching is strongly influenced by Inner Game philosophies, which transformed my own performance and enjoyment of the game.


I help golfers of all abilities improve by quieting the mind, sharpening focus, and trusting their natural swing. Lessons are calm, player-centred, and designed to create lasting improvement without overthinking.

Most golfers don’t struggle because they lack ability — they struggle because the mind gets in the way.

Inspired by Tim Gallwey’s Inner Game of Golf, my coaching focuses on:

  1. Awareness over overthinking
  2. Trust over tension
  3. Learning through experience, not instruction overload

By shifting attention away from constant technical judgement, golfers learn faster, swing more naturally, and perform better under pressure.

How It Works

Simple. Calm. Effective Coaching

Every session is tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all method.

We focus on:

  1. Clear, simple objectives
  2. External awareness (ball flight, rhythm, balance)
  3. Reducing self-criticism and tension
  4. Letting your body learn naturally

You’ll still receive technical guidance — but only when it truly helps. The goal is a repeatable swing and a calmer mind on the course.

Simulator Coaching

Indoor simulator sessions provide us with accurate ball and club data in a relaxed, distraction-free environment where we can explore feel and awareness.


We use the simulator to build confidence, not dependence on numbers. Data supports learning — it doesn’t dominate it.

On-Course Coaching

You’ll learn how to stay present shot by shot and let go of bad shots quickly. Commit fully without fear of outcome and play your game under real conditions.


This is practical coaching you can use immediately in competitions and casual rounds.
