In addition to his golf achievements, Danny holds an honors degree in Sport Science and Biomechanics, a testament to his commitment to understanding the intricacies of sports and human movement. He further honed his skills by completing his PGA qualification, becoming a true expert in the field.
With nearly a decade of coaching experience, Danny's expertise has been refined through his work at esteemed golf clubs such as Wheatley Golf Club and Doncaster Golf Club. Notably, he had the privilege of furthering his knowledge under the tutelage of the world-renowned golf coach, Peter Cowen.
