🤔 Coaching golfers is my absolute calling, I love working with serious golfers. That doesn’t mean you have to be a really low handicap, you need some diligence towards your practice and care towards your own game development.

🎥 In order for your Skillest lesson to be the most effective, I will ask you to upload 2 swings from the same practice session. One video is from “Down the line” the other is from “Face on” . These two camera angles allow me to piece together how your technique function currently and provide us a base line. If you are new to filming your own swing and need a bit of help on how to get these videos, just reach out to me and I can send you specific tips on how to “Accurately film your golf technique”
