The Connected Golf Coaching System: Simple, Modern, and Built for Real Progress.

By Rich Coffin, PGA Professional & Founder of Connected Coaching

For over 40 years, I’ve watched golfers try to improve by jumping between quick tips, conflicting swing ideas, and one-off lessons that rarely deliver lasting results.

So many players desperately want to get better—but the traditional coaching model simply isn’t designed for the way people learn today.

That’s why I've gradually created and refined my Connected Golf Coaching System. A clear, simple, step-by-step coaching pathway that helps golfers finally understand their swing, their game, and how to improve it consistently—without that overwhelming feeling.

Whether you’re in a coaching session with me, out on the course, or training on your own, the Connected System gives you structure, support, and confidence.

What Is the Connected Golf Coaching System?

The Connected System is a modern coaching blueprint built around three core principles:

1. Simplicity

Golf is complex—but your coaching shouldn’t be. Every session, drill, and explanation is designed to strip away confusion and give you the one thing that matters most right now... the game is complicated; the golf swing isn't.

2. True Connection

This means two things:

• Connection between coach and player – ongoing support, clear communication, and guidance that adapts to your needs.

• Mentorship and guidance – motivation, advice, a sounding-board... coaching offers a lot more than just technical swing improvements.

• Connection between your body and your club – developing a natural, coordinated motion rather than “fixing” pieces in isolation.

  
  

3. Continuous Learning

Instead of one-off lessons, you follow a structured pathway with feedback loops, practice plans, skill games, and progress checkpoints. You always know what to work on and why it matters.

Why It’s Different From Traditional Golf Lessons

Most golfers take a lesson, get a few tips, feel great for a week… and then slide back into old habits.

Why? Because traditional coaching:

• Focuses too much on positions instead of motion

• Gives people too much information, too fast

• Leaves players on their own between lessons

• Doesn’t provide a pathway—only a momentary fix

• Teaches the swing but rarely teaches the skills needed to score

The Connected System flips that on its head.

Here’s what makes it different:

✔ A blend of technique, skill development, and real-game learning

We don’t just work on the mechanics—we build your ability to hit shots, learn new shots, and build confidence with previously feared shots.

✔ Short, focused, high-impact coaching sessions

More clarity. Less waiting. No wasted minutes.

✔ In-depth 'lessons' + on-course advice + online support

You stay connected wherever you are, using simple swing keys, checkpoints, and content inside your Connected Coaching membership.

✔ Clear steps instead of random fixes

Every player begins with a Swing & Skill Assessment, then moves through a personalised improvement plan.

✔ A coaching partnership

You’re not buying lessons—you’re joining a system that stays with you until you reach your potential.

Who Is It For?

The Connected Golf Coaching System is designed for golfers who want:

• Support instead of guesswork

  You want guidance that continues between sessions—not just for 60 minutes.

• Simplicity instead of swing overload

  You’re tired of feeling overwhelmed and want a clear, calm path forward.

• Progress that actually sticks

  You don’t want a quick fix. You want to be better next month, not just tomorrow.

• Coaching that fits your lifestyle

  55-minute sessions, ongoing online feedback, and flexible membership options ensure your improvement, even with a busy schedule.

• A coach who genuinely cares about your goals

  My philosophy is simple: help every golfer discover their true potential. If you want that kind of partnership, you’ll thrive in this system.

Suitable for:

• Beginners who want structure

• Improvers who’ve plateaued

• Seniors seeking a more body-friendly approach

• Juniors who need fun, simple guidance

• Competitive players who need clarity and a plan

  
  

Why the Connected System Works

1. It removes confusion

You’ll always know:

• What you're working on and why

• How to practice it, and where you could practice it

• How to know you’re doing it correctly, or not

No more guesswork. No more contradictions.

2. It builds real skills, not just pretty swings

We use a balance of:

• Technical coaching

• Skill games

• Pressure simulating challenges

• On-course scenarios

Golf improvement is about making constructive swing changes, tackling weak areas in your game, on-course management, and performing under pressure.

3. It connects your movement, mind, and method

Instead of isolating parts, we connect:

• Your setup to your movement

• Your body with your club

• Your mind to a new mindset

• Your learning with your practice and performance

This naturally leads to more consistency—and a much more enjoyable game.

4. You stay connected between sessions

Inside your Connected Coaching membership, you have:

• Practice plans

• Video feedback

• Simple checkpoints

• Technique refreshers

• Skill games and challenges

• Unlimited Q&A (your ChatGPT for golf)

Support doesn’t end when you leave the building.

5. It adapts to your body and your goals

There’s no one swing. Only your swing—refined, coordinated, and connected.

Final Thoughts

The Connected Golf Coaching System isn’t just a way to take lessons—it’s a philosophy of improvement.

It’s built around simplicity, clarity, and helping every golfer reach their true potential.
