FAQ’s
When did you first realise you had a skill for trick shots?
I was about 17/18 and messing around at the driving range. I had a bottle of water and I was just hitting the ball off the top of it. I then tried hitting balls in different ways and then different shots really developed from there. I was fortunate to meet Noel Hunt who was one of the first trick shot artists, and I remember him saying son you have a real eye for the ball you could do something with this. And things just developed from there.
How long did it take you, before you performed your first trick shot show?
It was a good 6 years of practicing before I performed by fist show. I performed for the members of my club who had been watching me over the years developing my tricks. I remember I was so nervous.

Is the show entertaining?
The show is fun and exciting and will add golfing magic to your day. I will make the audience laugh as well as amazing them with extreme variations of hitting a golf ball.
What if there is no driving range at my club?
Most clubs will allow the 1st tee to be used if asked, as my show will not damage the tee in any way (i.e. no divots). The show can be performed indoors or outdoors, whatever meets with your requirements.
Does the show have to be performed at a golf club?
One of the advantages of my unique show is that it does not have to be performed at a golf club. The only requirement is that we have an area of 4 metres x 8 metres to hit from and an area to hit into!

I can play a few holes with each group or, I can be positioned on a tee hitting a shot for each group as they play through. I can either do this with my normal clubs or with my trick shot clubs.

You can book me for the whole day and I will entertain your clients on the range, on the course or even over dinner.
Or I can help raise money for your charity with my Par 3 challenge where I play a trick shot with each group.

Yes I have full public liability insurance.
What happens if it is raining?
I do not mind getting a little wet but if it is too bad the show would have to be cancelled and re-arranged to another day.
If I book Dean for a second show will it be the same as the first?
No it will be different. I have a bag full of trick shots and can bring out all sorts of different clubs and fun entertainment, which will include different types of audience participation.
