About Philippe

With nearly 20 years of experience teaching golfers of all skill levels, Philippe Bonfanti combines a passion for the game with cutting-edge technology to help you unlock your full potential. Using tools like Trackman and Sam PuttLab, he ensures you gain the knowledge and skills needed to play your best golf and enjoy the journey along the way.

After earning a BSc Honours Degree from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, Philippe dedicated his career to helping others improve their golf. His relentless pursuit of coaching excellence has led him to learn from some of the world’s best instructors. Philippe is recognised as a Trackman University Master, an Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine, a Stack & Tilt Authorized Instructor, and a certified Mind Factor Coach.

Philippe serves as the Head Professional at the Isle of Purbeck Golf Club, a top 100 golf course nestled on the stunning Dorset coastline near Bournemouth. Appointed in 2009 at just 25 years old after completing the PGA Foundation Degree, he has since built a reputation as one of the most accomplished coaches in the field. Philippe also coaches at the Byron Hutcheson Performance Studio at Iford Golf Centre—a state-of-the-art facility equipped with Trackman and Sam PuttLab.

As PGA Tour Coach Andy Plummer says:
"Philippe has traveled the world coaching golf on three continents, including at a major championship. He has also trained fellow professionals at international seminars. He is an expert and, in my opinion, one of the top coaches in the world."

Philippe strongly believes that even though we are all different, the physics and geometry of the swing remain the same for everyone and that as such, instructors need to have a systematic approach in order to help golfers improve the fastest. Being from a mixed background and having lived in four different countries Philippe is fluent in three languages: French, English and Italian.
