About Doug White
16 Years. One Club. A Career Built on the Game.
Doug White spent 16 years as Golf Director at Titirangi Golf Club — one of New Zealand's most respected courses. Now he's channelling that experience into full-time coaching.
From the Director's Chair to the Fairway
For 16 years, Doug White was the heartbeat of Titirangi Golf Club. As Golf Director, he oversaw every aspect of the game — from course operations and member development to tournament management and junior programmes. He became a trusted figure not just for his expertise, but for his genuine love of the sport and the people who play it.
In that time, Doug worked alongside golfers of every level — beginners finding their feet, club members chasing a lower handicap, and competitive amateurs pushing for their best. He understands what it takes to improve, and more importantly, he knows how to communicate it clearly.
Now, Doug has made the move he's been building toward: full-time coaching. No administrative distractions. Just focused, expert instruction for golfers who are serious about getting better.
Coaching Philosophy
Doug's approach is straightforward — understand the golfer first, then build the game.
Individual Focus
Every golfer is different. Doug tailors every session to your swing, your game, and your goals — not a generic template.
Practical Improvement
Lessons are grounded in what actually lowers scores on the course — not just range mechanics. Real golf, real results.
Long-Term Development
Quick fixes don't last. Doug builds habits and understanding that stay with you round after round, season after season.
