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.

What a 3 time European Tour winner can learn from his golf stats
Hi There,
Some golfers think that the top players in the world play perfect golf and are flawless.
It’s just not true.
They also have areas they need to work on to improve their games.
Let’s take a look at Golf Stats Coach data, 25 rounds, of this 3 time European Tour winner.
He has a scoring average of 70.04 over this period, is very good with Driving and Approach shots, with his Putting being his big weakness.
You cansee this from his Strokes Gained numbers below.
So let’s take a deeper dive into his Putting and look at his skill from different distances.
It is clear that he is pretty poor inside 12 feet, losing shots from every distance, except 9 feet.
So how does he perform on different breaks of putts from 12 feet and in?
About exactly the same on left to right and right to left putts.
He also misses both sides of the hole on left to right, right to left and straight putts. So no trends popping out here.
If we look at his performances over time, something interesting stands out though.
He tends to putt well or poorly a few rounds in a row. These also coincide with his tournaments and therefore his good performances all happen on the same greens. The same goes for his poor Putting performances.
So if I was this player’s Coach, which I’m not, I would start off by taking a look at:
His green reading process since it seems to me that he struggles on some types of greens
His ability to aim at his intended start line, since he misses both sides of the hole from short range
So this type of analysis then gives this player and his Coach, a great starting point to investigate ways of improving his Putting.
Do you know what you need to work on to improve your game?
Golf Stats Coach highlights the areas you need to work on to improve your golf game and best of all, your stats will sync through to your Coach each time you enter a round.

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
