On-Course Coaching in the Algarve
Private sessions with a former PGA Tour caddie — focused on course management, decision-making, and playing your best golf when it matters.
Former touring professional • PGA Tour caddie • Algarve based
WHAT TO EXPECT
Nine holes. One caddie. A completely different way of seeing the course.
A session with Jonathan isn't a lesson. There's no range work, no swing analysis, no technical adjustments. It's nine holes walked together, where you'll learn to read the course the way a touring professional does.
Every hole becomes a conversation about decision-making. Where is the real target? Where is the safe miss? What does this hole actually ask of you? Jonathan has spent years answering those questions at Tour level, and now brings that lens to your game.
You'll finish nine holes with a clearer process, smarter decisions, and a calmer approach to every shot, whether your swing is working or not.
Breathe Before You Swing
Reset your body and mind so your swing can do what it already knows how to do.
THE APPROACH
Four things that change how you play.
Visualize the Shot
See the ball flight, target, and feel before you swing — like elite players do.
Think Like a Caddie
Make smarter decisions, choose better targets, and stop giving shots away.
Recover + Reset
Stop one bad shot from ruining a hole or a round with a simple reset routine.
YOUR HOST
Five years as a caddie on the PGA Tour gave Jonathan something no certification can teach — an intimate understanding of how the game is actually played under pressure. He's been inside the ropes at events including the Charles Schwab Challenge, The Players, Arnold Palmer Invitational and more, walking alongside professionals whose livelihoods depended on every decision made between shots.
He competed professionally on the Portugal Pro Golf Tour, and now lives and coaches in the Algarve — where he meets golfers on the course every day and helps them play the game with more clarity, more calm, and more enjoyment.
"Having somebody teach you the mental side of the game is invaluable, often ignored and is as important as he technical side. Jonathan is excelled at all elements of this but I found this particularly useful."
- Andrew, HCP 15.4
"What I found most helpful was that I walked way with a clear idea of what I now get to work on, a clearly defined set of actions and mental concepts to explore."
- Sascha, HCP 8.7
