here’s why this system will work for you!
I have been working with Marcus since 2012, starting on the PGA of Australasia and with Marcus’ help working my way onto the European Tour. His knowledge of the game of golf and the golf swing is second to none and it’s a great benefit to have a coach that has played tour level golf and understands it at the highest level.
I have been lucky enough to have been personally coached by Marcus Wheelhouse over the past 7 years and cannot speak highly enough of his teaching ability. I am pleased to say that my game has improved markedly as a result. He has a very professional nature and energetic personality.
