SHAYN BARNHAM

HEAD PROFESSIONAL

Shayn joins The Golf Bunker team with over 25 years of experience in the golf industry. He is a highly respected PGA Professional within the Brisbane golf community, a TPI Certified coach, and a true asset to our team.

Dedicated to becoming the best coach he can be, Shayn is always striving to learn more and refine his approach to coaching. Shayn’s teaching philosophy is based around a four-step process:

- Learning about the golfer
- Identifying and explaining areas of the golf swing that will maximize improvement
- Using video analysis, technique drills, and swing keys to make change
- Measuring progress

“In my experience, learning about a player is the most important part of the improvement process – especially understanding their goals, strengths, weaknesses, and practice limitations. Taking their strengths, building a reliable, repeatable technique, and increasing a player's skill level is always my objective.

Physical limitations can also greatly affect a player’s technique, sometimes without them even realising it. Shayn works closely with our partners at Peak Sports and Spine Centre, adding another dimension to technique improvement. This collaboration helps players identify physical limitations and understand how they may be impacting their golf swing and longevity in the game.

Undoubtedly, the most exciting aspect of The Golf Bunker—for both golfers and myself as a coach—is using Trackman to provide accurate data on every swing. The golfer can use as much or as little of this data as they need, but as a coach, it allows me to easily explain every swing, show how technique changes will improve specific data parameters, and measure a player's improvement over time.”

ZAC CHIPPERFIED

The golf bunker FOUNDER

As the founder of The Golf Bunker, Zac is deeply passionate about the future of golf and the incredible possibilities that TrackMan technology brings to the game. With 11 years of experience as a PGA Professional, he has developed a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to helping golfers improve at every level.

Zac’s coaching approach combines video analysis with tailored drills and skill development techniques, giving players the tools to refine their game both during and between lessons. He believes that clear communication is essential, working closely with each golfer to understand their goals and optimise their technique for lasting improvement.

“I think it’s extremely important not only to provide feedback on technique and drills but also to help golfers develop a fundamental understanding of their swing. My goal is to empower players with the knowledge and tools to improve their own game, so together, we can achieve real and lasting results."

BEN FLETCHER

GOLF COACH

Ben joins The Golf Bunker team with 11 years of experience as a PGA Professional and a diverse background in both playing and coaching. Having competed on the PGA TOUR Canada and the Australasian Tour, he brings first-hand insight into high-level performance. His time coaching at an international golf academy in China has also given him a global perspective on player development.

Ben’s coaching philosophy is built around the body-swing connection, recognising that every golfer’s swing is unique to their physical capabilities. “There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to the golf swing—understanding what your body allows you to do is key to developing an efficient and repeatable motion,” he explains.

Beyond swing mechanics, Ben places a strong emphasis on the short game, course management, and the mental side of golf. His goal is to help players not only refine their technique but also develop a deeper understanding of why they hit certain shots and how to make effective adjustments.

Whether you're fine-tuning your skills or looking to take your game to the next level, Ben’s experience and holistic approach will help you play smarter, more confident golf.
