About the coach

Don Peterson stands as a prominent figure in the golf industry, focusing on making the game more engaging and accessible to learners. He has originated several golf innovations, including The Golfer’s Tee Box, The Golf Grip Shim, The Golfer’s Template, and The Golf Swing Board. His literary contributions, such as "Baseball Golf," "Start Golf Now," and "Miyagi For Golf," have made significant marks in golf education. Peterson serves as the Academy Director at Iron Horse Golf Club in Milton, GA, and is the primary golf instructor at The Hotel At Avalon, where his expertise is highly regarded. His association with The Proponent Golf Group and recognition as a Top 50 Instructor in the United States by Golf Range Magazine from 2009 to 2011 underscore his profound impact in the realm of golf coaching. He has mentored notable figures, including 2004 Open Champion Todd Hamilton, comedian Jeff Foxworthy, and NFL legend Brett Favre. Currently, Peterson dedicates his efforts to advancing the skills of Georgia’s top junior golfers, striving to instill a deep-seated enthusiasm for golf in them.

Over the past four years, Peterson has been at the forefront of revolutionizing online golf instruction. Utilizing "Miyagi For Golf" and Zoom, he has effectively shown students how to enhance their golf swings from the comfort of their homes. Peterson believes that online training is in its nascent stages, with vast room for improvement. He envisions enriching the at-home learning experience by integrating innovative training methods such as mastering body motions without a club, practicing swing techniques without hitting actual balls, and using larger baseball-sized practice balls. Additionally, Peterson advocates for the use of Skillest, an online platform that offers personalized coaching, as another avenue for golfers to refine their skills from home. These approaches reflect Peterson’s commitment to transforming home-based golf training, making it more dynamic and beneficial for players at all levels.

Frequently asked questions

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.
