Biography

Scott started his PGA Professional Traineeship in 1987 and won the Australian Trainee Championship the following year. Upon graduating from the PGA in 1989, he spent the next six years as a Touring Professional playing on the Australian, Asian, Canadian and Swedish tours before retiring from the circuit to direct his focus toward golf tuition and growing the game. For more than two decades now, Scott has been accumulating extensive coaching experience both nationally as a Program Director at some of the best facilities in New South Wales and internationally whilst traveling the world and working alongside renowned professionals such as Randy Henry, Jim Mclean, Ben Doyle, Paul Hart, Lawrie Montague and his own personal mentor; Gary Barter.

With his expertise, Scott has helped numerous golfers on their path to success including Nathan Green (PGA Tour winner), Brendan Jones (prolific Japanese Tour winner), Adam Stephens (Canadian & Australian PGA Tour winner) and Michelle Ellis (Ladies Australian Amateur Champion). Scott understands that every golfer has their own style and is a believer in educating his students in the design and functionality of the golf club so they can learn how to properly apply it within the swing. He places an emphasis on the importance of a great pivot with educated hands in order for the hands, arms, and body to move in synchronisation; when all three are working together it ensures an effective angle of attack into the golf ball and a sweet strike at impact.
