I'm Jack Moscrop.
I’m a certified coach specialising in golf psychology and mental performance, with more than four years of professional coaching experience. But my route here is not the standard one. Much of what I bring to golf mental performance coaching was learned long before I ever picked up a club.
I’ve completed specialist training in golf psychology recognised by the PGA of Great Britain & Ireland and approved by the Confederation of Professional Golf.
I’m certified through the International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring.
I coach ambitious amateur golfers to access more of the technical skill they already have, especially when pressure starts to matter.
My route here.
I started my career as a CIMA-qualified accountant, working for Rolls-Royce in the jet engine industry and Applied Materials in the semiconductor industry.
Serious businesses. High standards. Results mattered.
Despite being fast-tracked for senior positions, in my mid-twenties, corporate work was no longer enough for me. So I switched from the security of permanent employment to contract work in accountancy, IT and business development.
That gave me the freedom to build another career alongside it.
I became a professional adventure travel writer and photographer and spent much of the next 30 years immersed in skiing, surfing, mountain biking, sailing and kitesurfing.
Those sports taught me a lot about what happens when performance matters.
Fear changes the body. Hesitation changes decisions. Trying harder does not always make you better. A mistake becomes much more expensive when you carry it into what happens next. And your best performance often appears when thinking drops away and you simply do what you already know how to do.
Then I became a coach.
Eventually, my fascination with how people think, feel and perform became more than a personal interest.
I trained professionally as a coach and, for more than four years, have worked with people around performance, fulfilment, relationships, life transitions and the patterns that keep getting in their way.
My wider training draws on mindfulness, somatics, nervous system regulation, Positive Intelligence, Internal Family Systems and Jungian psychology.
Then life changed direction again.
How golf found me.
In my mid-fifties, severe hip pain gradually took away many of the sports that had shaped my life. I couldn’t even sit to meditate any more.
For two years I went through scans, X-rays, consultants, physiotherapy and being put on crutches before the problem was finally identified. I had a full hip replacement at 57.
Six weeks into recovery, I developed a double hernia and needed another operation. My rehabilitation stopped and the pain returned.
For around eleven months, I struggled to do the things that had always kept me physically and mentally well.
Then a friend invited me to walk a golf course with him.
On the fourth hole, he handed me his driver. I had never played golf. I hit it more than 100 yards straight down the fairway.
"Golf isn’t as hard as everyone says!" I thought.
Golf corrected that opinion immediately.
Expectation appeared. I tightened up. The next shots were disasters. But I was hooked.
Straight away, I recognised something familiar. The fear, expectation, tension and tendency to think too much. The need to commit. The need to recover quickly when things go wrong.
Everything I had experienced in adventure sport and worked with in coaching was suddenly there in golf.
Why golf mental performance?
Golf brought together strands of my life that had previously seemed unrelated.
Business taught me about standards, performance and results. Adventure sport taught me about fear, commitment and staying present. Coaching taught me how people create patterns, how those patterns affect performance, and how they can change.
Golf gave me a place to bring all of that together.
Golfer often channel their resources into improving their technical play and kit. But sometimes the bigger problem is what's happening inside them. Thoughts. Emotions. And the consequences of both. That's often where the biggest and quickest gains can be made.
That’s what I work with.
Golfers who want to stop wasting good golf opportunities by getting in their own way.
Golfers who care about their goals and their results.
Golfers who love golf.
