About Kristian
Kristian has over 23 years of experience working at Wentworth Club, where he served as Head of Instruction for the last decade. Beginning his coaching journey in 1997 at the Surrey Course, home of the BMW PGA Championship, he quickly established himself as a skilled instructor. During his 14 years with the Surrey Golf coaching team, Kristian lead the U16 squad and assisting with the U17 development team.
His coaching philosophy has been profoundly influenced by notable figures such as the late John Jacobs, Claude Harmon III, Karl Morris, and Chris Sells. Recently, Kristian was recognized by Golf Monthly as one of the Top 50 Golf Coaches.
Kristian’s coaching style is grounded in evidence and data, utilizing tools like TrackMan, video analysis, 3D systems, and personal course data. This approach makes lessons straightforward and ensures that the correct issues are identified and effectively addressed.
In 2018, Kristian and his business partners established The Ultimate Golf Studios, and in 2019, they acquired Sunningdale Heath Golf Club, a unique 18-hole course in Sunningdale that features two luxurious indoor swing studios. These facilities allow them to provide an exceptional experience for golfers of all skill levels.
