09The coaching guide
Coaching overview
Connect golf coaching with training between lessons and practices. Start here as a coach or a golfer.
One team, from golf goals to follow-up
Coach mode works for teaching pros, course programs, and golf team coaches. Use it with individual students or the players on your high school or college team.
A golfer joins a team of one or more instructors. Each golfer has a lead contact, while the team keeps the plan, notes, and assessments together. Coaches who work with more than one team can switch between them.
The course does not need a gym. Programs can fit a golfer’s gym membership, home equipment, travel setup, or no equipment. Instructors approve the options; golfers choose the setup they have available.
For coaches: getting set up
Create your account and team at GolfBod Coaching. You can also enable Coach mode in Settings › Coaching in the app. Team plans have no per-coach fees, and paid plans include personal Pro for 3, 5, or 10 coaches, depending on the plan. Team subscriptions are purchased and managed on the website.

- 02
Connect a golf goal to a plan
Add a lesson goal, a review date, and program options for the golfer’s equipment. They preview the plan before starting. Prescribing a plan.
- 03
Review the work together
With the golfer’s permission, review training and notes. Record a baseline and repeat the same measurements at a follow-up. Assessment guide.
For golfers: joining and what’s yours
Review the team and its instructors before joining, then choose whether to share your training. Sharing is optional, and you can change it later. Programs assigned by your team run free while you remain connected.
Your completed workouts, personal records, strength history, and assessment history stay yours if you leave. Leaving ends a running team program and pending team offers. Your own saved programs stay on your account.
On your phone and on the web
Use the mobile app to prescribe equipment alternatives, record assessments, and start or log workouts.
The web coach console gives instructors a larger view of the team roster, programs, adjustment requests, and assessment history. Golfers can see their team and assessments in Coaching on the web.
New coaches can create a team on the web without downloading the app. If you already use GolfBod, keep the same account. Choose a pairing code on the web, then approve it from Settings › GolfBod on the Web in the app. Email sign-in is also available.
