Mentor & Golf Coach, Member of the European Tour.
Former World Cup, Irish Open and Indian Open Winner.
David spent 15 years on the most prestigious European scene and played in over 370 tournaments. Not just that, he also won! At the Irish Open in 1998, he defeated famous Scotsman Colin Montgomerie in the playoff. In the same season, he reached the top of the official financial ranking, finishing nineteenth in Europe and taking a place among the 100 best golf players in the world.
He and fellow native Nick Faldo also won the World Cup, a tournament for doubles from various countries of the world. It was the first historical World Cup win for England.
During his playing career in the European Tour, David added four second places, two third places and fifteen more top-ten rankings to his victory in Ireland. Over the years on the European circuit, he earned almost three million euros and played twice at the British Open majors.
His career was disrupted five years ago by an injury, turning the page to a new chapter in his life as a mentor and golf coach. In his work, he applies a combination of very strong and function neuropsychological techniques, a psychosomatic approach and coaching principles, complemented by his deep knowledge of biomechanics and above all his own exceptional experience in playing golf on a regional and particularly international level. David does not teach a swing technique. With him you learn to play golf!
