ONLINE COACHING — DISTANCE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A DISADVANTAGE ⛳️
George ➡️ Vryburg.
Online coaching has opened the door to working with golfers anywhere — and there is no better way to explain what that journey can look like than hearing it directly from one of my students.
After a year and a half of working together online, this is what Pieter Terblanche had to say:
“Dear SM,
I just wanted to write you a little something to say thank you for everything you helped me with in the past year and a half!
Looking back, it’s honestly crazy how much we’ve done through a screen! You’re in George, I’m in Vryburg, and somehow you’ve managed to make online coaching work way better than I could ever dream of. If anything, it proves that you don’t need to be standing next to someone on the range to help them improve — although I’m sure you’d still prefer to be there to see all of my flushed shots in person! 😂
Working with you has been such a great experience. You’ve helped me improve my game, understand my swing better, and most importantly, enjoy the process. I really appreciate how patient you are, even when I’m making the same mistake for the 47th time and wondering why the ball isn’t doing what I want it to do.
The online lessons have also been ridiculously convenient. I can be sitting in Vryburg while you’re in George, and within minutes we’re working on my swing. It makes coaching so much easier, and I honestly don’t feel like the distance between us is a disadvantage at all.
But more than just being a good coach, you’ve been someone I’ve really enjoyed working with. You’re easy to talk to, you’re encouraging, and you always seem to know how to explain things in a way that makes sense. You’ve definitely made me a better golfer, but more importantly, you’ve made me enjoy the journey!
So, thank you for all the time, effort, advice and patience you’ve given me over the past year and a half! I’m really grateful that I started working with you, and I’m excited to see how our future looks like in the game of golf⛳️
Thanks for everything, Coach. I genuinely appreciate it.”
