The idea of BYOGC came to me during the Covid-19 pandemic when the world is under lockdown. Offices are closed, shops are being shut, and the nightmare came to me when golf courses are not able to operate as well...
Online is the way to go and I know that. But how can I teach golf online, I asked myself? What's the point teaching online when golfers can't go to the golf course? Is swinging at home really beneficial? I couldn't get pass myself charging money for that...
But that didn't stop me from brainstorming. I think hard about how can I teach golf online and still give you a permanent impact on your golf game, rather than a temporary one.
Let's face it. Even if the world goes back to normal, you will still not have the time to practice. You could be busier at work, making up for lost times... So what can I do to make an impact?
If you can't come to a coach for whatever reasons, what if I can make you a golf coach? Not as a career, but at least a coach for yourself? You can take your own videos, you can identify your own mistakes accurately, you can prescribe your own correction drills, and you can self correct immediately on the golf course. Would that make an impact on your golf game?
