Tour Player + Stats + Coach = Better Golf. Check it out
I had a fun chat with a young Tour player from South Africa Thabiso Ngcobo and his Coach Kyle Phelan on how they use his Golf Stats Coach data.
They identify areas in Thabo’s game to focus on and then put their efforts on corrective measures to improve on those very specific aspects of his game. Watch the video as I’m sure you’ll learn something you can apply with your own students.
Also, link up with your students via Golf Stats Coach and give them insights on their on course performances. It can be invaluable to them. Golf Stats Coach integrates with Golf Coach App.
Golf Stats Coach highlights the areas in a golfer’s game they need to work on to improve their golf game.

Golf Coaching vs Golf Teaching
Hi there,
A lot of what is offered as Online Coaching is actually just Online Teaching.
Let me show you the difference between the two and why it matters.
Teaching is when you distribute information to your students, like videos, books or any other content that teaches them techniques, swing theories, strategies etc.
It’s information without connecting that information to a specific problem.
What is Coaching then?
Golf Coaching works a lot like your GPS navigation app. The first thing the app does when you switch it on, is to figure out where you currently find yourself.
Only when it knows your current location can it give you directions to your destination.
It’s the same for your students’ golf games.
You have to understand where they currently find themselves and what the root cause of their problem is, before you can start taking action, fixing the problem and giving them directions.
This is why watching random videos about golf instruction is so ineffective in helping golfers play better golf.
Without analysis of the problem, how can a golfer know whether the remedy they are watching and then implementing, applies to them?
This is why we created Golf Coach App the way we did, since it enables Coaching as well as Teaching.
It's the most efficient way for students to learn and improve their games.
Students fill in their goals, giving you a sense of where they want to take their game
Data from their on course play sync through to their Coach via Golf Stats Coach
High quality videos with shot information give you an ability to give them great feedback
My Coaching Libary enables you to add a Teaching component to your Coaching
So keep in mind, your students are interested in going to their destination, help them get there through a combination of Coaching and Teaching.

Online Golf Coaching Success, step by step
Hi There,
2020 is the year that every service that would eventually be offered online, got accelerated and is now happening.
It's the same for golf coaching.
At Golf Coach App we see and talk to a lot of Golf Coaches all over the world. Some are succeeding unbelievably well in taking their coaching offering online, supplementing their income and freeing up time and some not.
Here's what I see with the successful ones. You can do the same by following these steps.
1. Start with your in-person students
When a student comes for an in-person golf lesson, get the student to download Golf Coach App and give them feedback of the lesson inside the app.
2. Encourage your student to send you a video
This can be when they go work on the things you mentioned to them during the lesson or when they play on the golf course. When you receive their video, send them a response promptly. This is often the light bulb moment for a student, when they realise they can get value from their Coach without being with them in person.
3. Keep the conversation going
Send your students daily nuggets of value. This is as easy to do as to copy the interesting golf related post you see on social media and broadcast messaging it to all your students. Golf Coach App has the broadcast messaging feature built in.
4. Show them value
When your student starts engaging with you via Golf Coach App and they see the value you can add to them with your online feedback it's time to make them an offer.
5. Make an offer and close the deal
Make them an offer for a monthly fee, add in a bit of a discount to where they cannot resist and start growing your subscription income from Coaching students online, one by one. You can collect subscription or once-off Coaching fees from students via Golf Coach App.
Hopefully you can take these principles and make them your own. If you need some help with this, feel free to reach out to me.
Till next time,
Martin
