About the coach

I'm Max Dakic, a PGA Professional with over 10 years of experience in the golf industry across Australia and the United States. I'm currently the First Assistant Golf Professional and Coach at the prestigious Montecito Club in Santa Barbara, California.

As a dual PGA of Australia and PGA of America member, I've developed a strong passion for helping golfers of all ages and abilities improve their game. I specialize in swing fundamentals, technique, player development, and building simple, effective practice plans that produce lasting results.

My coaching philosophy is to make golf improvement straightforward, enjoyable, and achievable. I believe every golfer has a unique swing, and my goal is to help players understand their game, develop confidence, and reach their full potential.

Through online coaching, I'm excited to work with golfers around the world, providing personalized swing analysis, clear instruction, and actionable feedback to help you play your best golf.

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. 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 and chat with them. You can review your feedback and track your progress anytime, in your browser or in 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.
