Philip joined the team in 2011 but was well acquainted with KGS having taken lessons from the school's founder Leslie King from as early as the late 1970's. He competed successfully on different professional Tours, most notably the European Tour and Challenge Tours between 1992 - 1996. His career choice in golf was perhaps not surprising, as his Father had been a highly successful professional. It was during this time, that Philip's playing and coaching skills developed, learning from famous teaching names and competing alongside some of the world's best. After finishing his playing career Philip joined the European Tour assisting in tournament administration and refereeing at many world class events such as The World Matchplay at Wentworth. Philip then progressed his career by becoming Head Golf Professional at a prestigious London golf club, Royal Mid - Surrey followed by a stint abroad overseeing the golf operations at a resort complex (Palheiro Golf, Madeira Islands)  in Europe. Ultimately, coaching has always been what Philip enjoys the most, which led him to specialise in this field.
