Remote golf coaching

Stop collecting tips. Get a plan.

Swing Direction is remote golf coaching built by a founder who went from a 20 handicap to sub-5, and delivered by a PGA teaching pro and former Division I coach. One plan for your whole game, a coach every week, and a target handicap to measure it against.

Why most golfers stall

Everyone is a guru. Nobody gives you a plan.

A local pro who sees you for 45 minutes a month. A feed full of conflicting tips. An app where a coach comments on your video and the plan is up to you. None of them answer the question that matters: what should I be working on this week, and is it moving my handicap?

A lesson is not a plan

One swing thought every few weeks, no connection to the last one, and nothing to do in between.

Tips do not compound

Every video is a fix for someone else's swing. Stacking them makes most golfers worse, not better.

Feedback without a target drifts

Video review tells you what is wrong. It does not tell you what to fix first, or what to leave alone.

The Swing Direction system

We coach the whole game, then measure it

Jordan built this the way a founder builds anything: find where the strokes are leaking, fix the biggest leak first, measure, repeat. Matt makes sure every fix is technically right for your swing and your body. The plan covers five areas and goes after whatever is actually costing you shots.

Technique

The one or two swing changes that matter for your pattern, and nothing else.

Short game

Wedges, chipping and putting, where most handicaps are actually won.

Strategy

Targets, club selection and the decisions that cost you shots without touching your swing.

Speed and fitness

Mobility, strength and clubhead speed, built around your body and your schedule.

Mental game

Routine, expectations and how to play when it is not going well.

Who we are

A founder who solved it. A pro who does this for a living.

Jordan Saunders

Jordan Saunders

Co-founder, program design

Jordan went from a 20 handicap to sub-5 while building a software company and raising two kids, and never found a coach who would give him the whole picture. So he built the plan himself: improvement as a system, with inputs, feedback loops and a target. That system is what Swing Direction coaches. Jordan designs the program and sits in on every assessment and checkpoint.
