From Google ad exec to one of the busiest online golf coaches in the world, Tyler Coonts
Five years ago Tyler Coonts was working in advertising at Google, sneaking into empty conference rooms to give free swing breakdowns on the Hudl app. Then George Gankas told him mid-lesson: "You should be teaching." Now he's one of the most in-demand coaches on Skillest. He does six hours of Zoom lessons a day, and his analysis queue hasn't been empty in three years. This year he also picked up almost 70,000 Instagram followers off a single drill. Baden and Clappy talk to Tyler about: Learnin...

From Skillest to Hollywood: Owen Wilson's Golf Consultant on Stick | Nathan Leonhardt
What happens when a coach builds such a strong brand that Hollywood calls? This week Baden and Clappy sit down with Nathan Leonhardt.

Alex Buckner didn't fall in love with coaching, he fell in love with winning.

Storytelling Over Swing Data: Inside Jerome Theunis's Coaching Philosophy
Jerome Theunis was a golf pro himself — a Challenge Tour player who represented Belgium in the World Cup — before he became one of the most sought-after (and quietly under-the-radar) coaches in the game. It started with his roommate on tour, a young Nico Colsaerts, who got sick of finding golf technique books in the bathroom and Sharpie diagrams on the hotel TV. "I think you're pure psycho," Nico told him. A few years later Colsaerts was in the Ryder Cup, and Jerome had found his calling. Sin...
