About the coach
I’m Daniel Houle, founder of FUNCTIONAL.GOLF — a coaching approach that blends biomechanics, functional movement, breathing, and mental strategy to create lasting improvement. I don’t just “fix swings” — I help golfers build a game that works under pressure, on any course, in any conditions.
My remote coaching is built around personalized, ongoing support — including swing video analysis, Zoom consultations, customized practice plans, scorecard reviews, and access to exclusive FUNCTIONAL.GOLF worksheets. Every plan is designed to fit your goals, your body, and your schedule.
If you’d like to get acquainted with my coaching philosophy before starting, I invite you to listen to my podcast, Reframing the Game:
https://functionalgolf.podbean.com
This is coaching for golfers who are ready to commit to real, measurable results — not quick fixes.

I was struggling for topped hits and fade/ slice shots. I needed a refresher lesson. Dan was able to make some adjustments to my swing so I was making solid contact shots again. Thanks, Dan.

Dan provided an appropriate amount of technical enlightenment to easily understand what we're trying to accomplish + drills to ingrain the change. Perfect!

Incredible introductory lesson with Dan. He helped me learn a lot more about my personal swing foundation and archetype, as well as gave me some tips and drills to help fix some of my common misses. Dan is a super friendly and insightful guy. Looking forward to the next one.

Free Consultation
Golf improvement isn’t about chasing swing fixes — it’s about understanding the patterns, movement, and mindset that shape your game. That’s the foundation of FUNCTIONAL.GOLF, and it’s the philosophy behind my podcast, Reframing the Game. This free 20-minute consultation is your chance to experience that approach firsthand. Before the call, you’ll: • Submit a short video of your swing. • Complete the revised FUNCTIONAL.GOLF Discovery Form, so I can understand your goals, challenges, and patterns. During the call, we’ll review what I see in your swing and your responses. Together, we’ll identify the key areas holding you back and outline what a personalized improvement roadmap could look like. This is not a quick tip session — it’s a starting point for golfers who are serious about lasting progress. By the end of the call, you’ll know whether a structured coaching partnership is the right next step. 👉 Listen to Reframing the Game here: www.functional.golf/podcast to get acquainted with the FUNCTIONAL.GOLF philosophy before we meet.
