11The coaching guide
Prescribing a plan
Link a lesson goal to a program, offer equipment alternatives, and handle adjustments.
Start with the golfer’s goal and setup
The golfer might train at a commercial gym, with equipment at home, while traveling, or with no equipment. The golf course does not need to provide a training space.
- 01
Choose the program
Use a saved program or one you built. Add a short instruction goal so the golfer understands how the work connects to the lesson.
- 02
Offer alternatives
In the app, attach approved programs for different equipment setups. These are specific plans you choose; GolfBod does not invent an unapproved substitute for a golfer’s setup.
- 03
Set a review date
Give the golfer a date to revisit the plan together, then send the offer. They review the goal and program options before starting.
What the golfer does next
The golfer opens the team plan, chooses an existing equipment setup or adds one, and previews the approved options. Starting a matching option also selects that equipment for their workouts.
One program runs at a time. If another program is active, the app explains the switch before confirmation. Starting or replacing a team program keeps completed workouts and records.
When the equipment doesn’t match
The golfer can request an adjustment and describe what they have available. The roster flags the request. Open their record to review the plan and, when sharing is enabled for you, their note and equipment setup.
Revise the offer in the mobile app. You can keep its instruction goal, review date, and approved alternatives. A colleague can reuse the current prescription without rebuilding it.
During the program
- GolfBod handles workout logging, weights, reps, and adjustments around the golfer’s calendar.
- With permission, instructors can review training history and leave notes on the session they concern.
- The assigned plan is a saved snapshot. Editing a program in your library does not silently rewrite what the golfer was offered.
- Assigned programs run free while the coaching relationship continues. When a golfer leaves the team, pending offers and a running team program end; their completed training stays.
