In 2011 I spent the winter in Australia and while living in Melbourne I took some lessons with Dennis Mcdade at the Bann Lynch golf academy. Dennis worked as part of the coaching team at the Victoria Institute of sport program for eleven years with graduates including Stuart Appleby, Robert Allenby, Geoff Ogilvy, Aaron Baddeley, Jarrod Lyle and Marc Leishman. He was also an Advisory Board member of the TPI program and had previously been rated Australian Teacher of the year.
