About the coach

📢 Tired of endless YouTube videos and ready to finally understand why your specific short game shot or swing pattern works—or doesn’t? 🎯

Hi, I’m Nicolai Cetti Engstrøm, and I’ve spent over two decades living and breathing golf. 🏌️‍♂️ Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work with more than 2,000 golfers, from complete beginners to tour pros. My journey in golf has not only fueled my passion for the short game but has also led me to achieve some incredible milestones, including:

🏆 Founder of World Of Short Game: Developed innovative short game concepts to help golfers of all levels.
📚 Published Author: Wrote a comprehensive short game book that’s helping golfers sharpen their skills.
🎥 Course Creator: Launched an in-depth online short game course, which has already attracted several hundred participants.
🎙️ Podcast Host: Host of both a Danish and an English golf podcast, focused on helping golfers improve their game.
👨‍💼 CEO of Denmark’s Largest Golf Teaching Business: Leading a team dedicated to elevating the game for golfers across the country.

💡 My approach to coaching is rooted in one simple belief: effective teaching starts with understanding. I firmly believe that for you to improve, you need to grasp not just the “how,” but the “why” behind every movement. Too often, golfers are given quick fixes without understanding the mechanics that make them work—or why they don’t. That’s why I focus a lot of my teaching on explaining the fundamentals of the golf swing and the short game, breaking down what’s happening and why it matters.

🏌️ Whether we’re working on your chipping, bunker shots, or full swing, my goal is to help you understand the basic mechanics and concepts. By knowing why certain things work and why others don’t, you’ll be equipped to make lasting improvements in your game. I want to empower you to take control of your golf journey, so you can confidently apply what you learn, both during our lessons and out on the course. ⛳

🏆 As a coach, I’ve always been driven by the results my students achieve. Nothing is more rewarding to me than seeing the “aha” moments when things start to click for a player. Through my online lessons here on Skillest, you’ll receive personalized feedback, practical drills, and strategic insights that fit your unique style and goals. I’m here to guide you, support you, and most importantly, help you unlock the potential you already have within you. 🔑 Let’s take your game to the next level, one lesson at a time.
