About Kristian
Kristian worked at Wentworth Club for over 23 years, spending the last 10 years as Head of Instruction. Starting in 1996 he honed his skills for coaching at the Surrey Course that is home to the BMW PGA Championship. Whilst there Kristian became a Surrey County Coach, originally coaching the Surrey Futures squad. During the 14 years involved with the coaching team at Surrey Golf he held the role as lead coach for the U16 and assistant coach for the U17 development squad.
Without doubt the greatest influences on his coaching would be the people he has spent time around and learned directly from. These include the late John Jabobs, Claude Harmon ||| , Karl Morris and Chris Sells. Recently Kristian has been recognised by Golf Monthly as a Top 50 Golf coach.
Kristian’s Style of coaching is focused around using evidence and facts. This includes TrackMan data, Video, 3D systems and personal course data. Approaching it in this way means the lesson is simple and easy to understand, it ensures the correct fault is always identified and the right fix is implemented.
In 2018, along with his business partners, they set up The Ultimate Golf Studios and then in 2019 they bought Sunningdale Heath Golf Club. A unique 18 hole course in Sunningdale with two luxurious indoor swing studios. Having these facilities enables them to be able to offer a wonderful and complete experience for all standards of golfer.
