The leaderboard
Josh learned it by winning on tour, across four continents, for nearly two decades: twenty professional titles on five tours, and three Charles Tour Order of Merit wins in a row.
Along the way he has played at The Open Championship and on the DP World Tour, against the best in the game.
That experience is what he brings to every lesson in Papamoa: advice that has been tested where it counts.
“I’ve been out there and done it.”
Josh coaches the way he plays: simple, practical, and built to hold up under pressure. Twenty professional wins didn’t come from a perfect swing. They came from a sharp short game, a strong head and a system he could trust on the final nine.

About Josh
Born in Invercargill. Based at Tauranga Golf Club in the Bay of Plenty. Co-owner of Golf Precinct, Papamoa.
Josh Geary has spent nearly two decades doing what most golfers only watch on TV.
Josh first wore the silver fern as an amateur, representing New Zealand at the Eisenhower Trophy (the World Amateur Team Championship) in 2004 and 2006, and at the Nomura Cup in 2005. He also represented Asia/Pacific at the Bonallack Trophy in 2006.
He turned professional in 2007 and took his game around the world. He won the Saskatchewan Open on the Canadian Tour in 2008. He played the US Web.com Tour (now the Korn Ferry Tour), the pathway to the PGA Tour. He won three times in a single season on PGA Tour China, finishing second on the 2015 Order of Merit. He earned his place on the European Tour, now the DP World Tour. And in 2009 he teed it up at The Open Championship at Turnberry, one of golf’s four majors.
Closer to home, he has become one of the most consistent players of his generation. Golf New Zealand calls him “Mr Consistent”. He has won 13 times on the Charles Tour and topped its Order of Merit three years running, from 2023 to 2025. In 2025 he won the Vic Open on the PGA Tour of Australasia by four shots, in winds that pushed the field’s scoring average to 76.5.
Today Josh brings that experience to his coaching. As co-owner of Golf Precinct and a specialist in the short game, he teaches what actually works under pressure, because he has had to do it himself.
