Todd Adcock is a British PGA Accredited Golf Professional and a Scott Cowx Advanced Certified Coach.

Todd uses a holistic approach to golf instruction and most certainly applies his expertise and experience gained as a leading amateur and tournament-winning golfer. As a player he said he always looked for answers to problems and that bent led him to develop his "STOP Principle" for better decision-making, course management, and golf: S - Can I get a... Stance and Strike? T - What is the required... Trajectory" O - What are my... Options" P - What is the... Probability (of success)?
