Every Swyng booking is handled personally by Sandeep, known to most as Sandy. A former tour professional with a career spanning five international tours, he uses that knowledge to match you with the right course, coach, or experience for your level and goals.
Sandeep is the founder of Swyng and the person behind every booking. When you redeem a Swyng experience, he handles it personally, drawing on his knowledge of courses, coaches, and formats to make sure you get the right round, lesson, or break.
That knowledge comes from a career at the top of the game. Sandeep turned professional off a +3 handicap following an outstanding amateur career representing England from 1997 to 2000, including selection for the Great Britain & Ireland team in 1999.
His professional career spanned the European Tour (now DP World Tour), Challenge Tour, EuroPro Tour, Alps Tour, and the Sunshine Tour in South Africa, where he held a tour card from 2001 to 2007. Highlights include an 8th place finish at the Dunhill Championship, a 6th place at the Tessali Open on the Challenge Tour, and winning both the 2009 EuroPro Tour Qualifying School and the PartyPoker.com International Open.
Sandeep also recorded a course record 60 (-11) at Whittlebury Park, the second lowest competitive score ever recorded by a professional in Britain at the time, a record that stood until 2021. He went on to win the 2011 RasGas Championship at Doha Golf Club in Qatar and regained Alps Tour status in 2013.
