🤔 Coaching golfers is my absolute calling, I love working with serious golfers. That doesn’t mean you have to be a really low handicap, you need some diligence towards your practice and care towards your own game development.

🎥 In order for your Skillest lesson to be the most effective, I will ask you to upload 2 swings from the same practice session. One video is from “Down the line” the other is from “Face on” . These two camera angles allow me to piece together how your technique function currently and provide us a base line. If you are new to filming your own swing and need a bit of help on how to get these videos, just reach out to me and I can send you specific tips on how to “Accurately film your golf technique”

Second, you’ll learn to read greens with accuracy, predicting break correctly every time. Third, you’ll dial in your speed control, ensuring your pace matches your read for consistent putting and 3 putt avoidance.
