Golf Coach Brian Coleman on the Process Behind Becoming Better Golfers

What does golf coaching actually look like?

In this episode of Links for Life, Tommy sits down with golf coach Brian Coleman to talk about the difference between lessons and coaching, why most golfers plateau, and what long term improvement really requires.

Brian shares his journey from aviation to golf, why he left a stable career to pursue coaching, and how he structures development with a new student. They discuss clarity, identity, nervous system regulation, and why “I just want to get better” is not specific enough to build a plan.

This conversation is not about quick fixes. It’s about the process behind becoming better golfers.
