About the coach

About Me
I’m Jake Kruegel, a teaching professional and founder of Buckeye Golf Academy. Over the past decade, I’ve taught more than 16,000 lessons to golfers of all ages and skill levels, from beginners picking up a club for the first time to nationally ranked junior players.

My teaching style blends technical expertise with clear, simple communication so that every student understands why their swing does what it does and how to improve it. I focus on helping players build repeatable fundamentals, develop a swing that matches their body and goals, and gain the confidence to take their game from the range to the course.

I currently coach out of multiple indoor and outdoor facilities, including The Bunker Indoor Golf Facility and my own home simulator, and also work with players virtually through Skillest. Whether you want to fix a slice, gain distance, lower your handicap, or compete at the highest level, I’ll give you the tools and feedback to make it happen.

Specialties:
• Fixing slices and hooks
• Junior golf development (including top-ranked AJGA players)
• Senior golfers looking to maximize consistency and enjoyment
• Short game improvement (chipping, pitching, putting)
• Course management and scoring strategies

My goal is simple: to make golf easier, more enjoyable, and more rewarding for every student I coach.

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.

What are Courses?

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.
