What should I look for in a good golf coach?

A good golf coach is more than someone who tells you to “just keep your head down.” You want a coach who:

• uses objective data (video analysis, launch monitors, TrackMan) to diagnose why you miss shots. For example, Todd Campbell’s academy starts each new student with a full‐swing assessment using the latest golf technology.

• builds a customised roadmap based on where you are now and where you want to go. The Coaching Philosophy at Todd’s academy emphasises planning and guided improvement, not just one‐off tips.

• offers proof of results and a structured program: At the academy you’ll find membership packages and progress tracking.

So when interviewing a coach ask: “What technology do you use?” “How will you measure my improvement?” “What’s the plan for me beyond a single lesson?” If the answers align with the above, you’re in good hands.
