Originally from Montreal Canada, Peter began his career as a golf coach in 1987 working with Club Med resorts in Tunisia, Spain, France and Bali. Duties included conducting golf clinics on the full swing, short game, golf demonstrations and the organisation of golf excursions to local golf clubs. In his final year working for Club Med Peter was placed as Responsible of the Golf School in Bali gaining experience in golf management through the training of golf instructors, organising lesson schedules, tournaments, golf demonstrations, excursions and golf course modification at the resort.

In 1989 Peter relocated to Brisbane Australia, serving for thirteen years at Aspley Pin High Golf Club. There he conducted beginner and advanced clinics, junior classes, private coaching and pioneered the use of computer swing analysis in Brisbane.

In April 2002 Peter was appointed Head Golf Professional at Hope Island Golf Club and Resort, rated Australia's No.1 Resort Golf Club.

Peter has a "AAA" ranking by the Australian PGA. Also in January 2000 Peter attained Level VI Accreditation in the category of Golf Coaching (professional) by the PGA Professional Development Program, in association with The Australian Coaching Council.

Technology has played a key role in Peter's coaching as he specialises in Computer Swing Analysis. The use of digital video for super clear frame by frame pictures and the ability to compare swings has made it much easier to understand the golf swing.

"To achieve your goals in golf you need a plan, good coaching, and understand the mechanics of the swing. You must get a clear image of the fundamentals through video analysis, swing comparison, and have the ability to correct your own swing under pressure. with practice and more practice, it all becomes much easier."
