What is an online golf lesson?

An online golf lesson is a way of learning golf skills and techniques from a coach or instructor through the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. On Skillest, you can get private instruction with an elite golf coach without even leaving your home. Just record your golf swing and send it to your coach, along with any goals, questions, or other information that will help your coach create the right plan for you.

What are the benefits of an online lesson using Skillest?

Online golf lessons using Skillest offer many benefits, such as convenience, affordability, flexibility, and access to the largest selection of the most talented golf coaches in one place. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. When you get a lesson on Skillest, you don’t need to schedule a time or drive to your lesson. You can just record your swing and message your coach whenever you have questions.

How do I receive feedback from my coach?

You will receive feedback from your coach through the Skillest app. Your coach will record their own videos with their analysis as well as additional drills to work on and send them back to you inside the lesson. You can watch your coach’s analysis, which may include video, audio, text, or drawings and see the changes and improvements they suggest for your swing. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.

Teaching Philosophy

Golf has been my entire life — from growing up in Pordenone, Italy and joining the Italian National Team at 13, to competing in college at TCU, turning professional, and now walking the fairways every week as a caddie on the Ladies European Tour. Every step of that journey has taught me something new about this game, and I bring every one of those lessons into my coaching. I believe no two golfers are the same. Your swing, your body, your mindset, and your goals are unique — and your improvement plan should be too. My approach is built around truly understanding you as a player: where you are now, where you want to go, and what's standing in the way. From there, I build a structured, personalised plan that gives you clarity and direction, not confusion. I combine modern analytical tools — including Sportsbox AI 3D analysis and detailed video breakdowns — with the intuitive, on-course intelligence you can only gain from years of competing and caddying at the professional level. I know what it feels like to stand over a pressure putt, to work through a swing issue before a tournament round, and to trust a process under the heat of competition. That lived experience shapes everything I teach. Open communication is at the heart of what I do. I want my students to feel comfortable reaching out, asking questions, and sharing their progress at any point. Golf is a journey — let's make yours a great one.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Certified Coach and Italian PGA member with a playing and coaching career that has taken me from the Italian National Team through NCAA Division I golf at TCU, onto the professional tours of Europe, and now to the caddyyard of the Ladies European Tour.

Born and raised in Pordenone, Italy, I represented the Italian National Team for 13 years (2009–2022) before earning a full scholarship to compete at Texas Christian University in the Big 12 — one of the most competitive conferences in American college golf. At TCU, I earned multiple Academic All-Big 12 honours, the Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar award, and the TCU Dutch Meyer Male Scholar Athlete of the Year. After graduating, I turned professional in 2019 and competed on the Alps Tour, Challenge Tour, and DP World Tour until 2022.

Today, I coach players at the highest levels of amateur and professional golf, and I serve as the full-time caddie for Alessandra Fanali — Italy's top-ranked women's player — on the Ladies European Tour. That weekly presence inside the ropes at LET events gives me a perspective very few coaches can offer: real-time, live-tour insight into strategy, course management, pressure, and performance.

My coaching is entirely personalised. I use Sportsbox AI 3D analysis, slow-motion video breakdowns, and live Zoom sessions to deliver structured, data-informed lessons that fit your schedule and goals — whether you're a beginner, a competitive amateur, or an aspiring professional. Students consistently tell me I have a sharp eye for diagnosis and a gift for making complex swing concepts easy to understand and implement.

My journey is your advantage — let's build yours together.
