The golfer’s first sporting love was football, however after receiving an injury at the age of 13, he soon turned his attention to golf and started his Professional Golfers’ Association training at the age of 17.

The coach, who has worked at The Shropshire, Lilleshall Hall and Manchester’s Trafford Golf Centre, decided to start a YouTube Channel in October 2011 in order to grow his client base.

His videos include a variety of golf tips, drills and advice on how to improve in the game and his channel has reached a staggering 69,000+ subscribers and over 13 million views.

Peter’s new teaching facility in Lytham, ran by himself and colleague Rick Shiels, helps to teach golfing enthusiasts the correct technique and focuses on the individual as opposed to concentrating on a swing model.
