Teaching Philosophy

I believe the best golf instruction is built on a foundation of clarity — clear diagnosis, clear goals, and a clear path forward. Every student who works with me gets an honest assessment of where their game stands and exactly what we're going to do about it. I don't hand out generic swing tips; I build player development plans that address the full picture: full swing, short game, on-course strategy, and the practice habits that make change stick. Technology is central to how I teach, because data removes the guesswork. TrackMan, a video coaching platform, Sportsbox AI, and high-speed video analysis are in every lesson — not to overwhelm you with numbers, but to make sure every adjustment we make is measured and purposeful. For my competitive juniors, that extends to Circles shot tracking, tournament review, and referrals to physios and trainers who understand the golf body. I've been shaped by some of the best instructors in the country — Top 50 and Top 100 teachers who pushed me to think deeply about biomechanics, player learning styles, and what it really takes to produce lasting improvement. I've never stopped learning, and that curiosity shows up in the lesson bay every single day. Most importantly, I meet each student where they are. Whether you're a 10-year-old chasing your first tournament win or an 80-year-old hunting five more yards, my job is the same: find your biggest opportunity and build a clear, honest path to your best golf.

About the coach

I'm Joe Spivak, a passionate PGA Professional dedicated to helping golfers improve through personalized coaching, expert analysis, and a clear plan for long-term development.

Having worked with players at every level, from beginners to PGA Tour professionals, I understand that every golfer has unique strengths, challenges, and goals. My approach combines proven coaching principles, modern technology, and individualized instruction to help you understand your swing, practice with purpose, and perform with greater confidence.

Through Skillest, I provide detailed online coaching tailored to your game. Using your swing videos and tools such as Sportsbox AI, where appropriate, I can help identify key areas for improvement, explain the changes that matter most, and provide focused drills and practical feedback to guide your progress.

My coaching philosophy is simple: understand what needs to improve, develop a plan to address it, and make every practice session count.

Whether you're new to the game, working toward breaking a specific scoring barrier, improve your ball striking, or competing at an elite level, we'll build a coaching plan around your individual needs and goals.

With clear communication, structured practice, and ongoing feedback, you'll have a better understanding of your swing and a more purposeful approach to improving your performance.

Your goals. Your game. A personalized plan to help you get better.

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 on skillest.com, and in the Skillest app if you use it.

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.
