Jeff Coston Golf Academy

I’ve been working with Jeff Coston for 4 years now. When I first started working with Jeff I had only been golfing for 4 years. I spent many rounds struggling and fumbling my way around the golf course. Not really improving, I had peaked, plateaued, felt frustrated. Now that I am working with Jeff he has helped me to improve all aspects of my game by giving me the tools I need to get the job done, while making learning fun!! He’s able to explain and show you in many different ways so that you are able to understand what you need to accomplish your goals. My handicap has dropped and is still dropping!! Thanks Jeff!!”

I am a senior amateur golfer who despite owning a 10 handicap, had become very frustrated with my ball striking and specifically the lack of athleticism that I had always felt playing golf relative to other sports that I had competed in over the years. I had taken many lessons and practiced hard to attain that feeling of athleticism but I could never find it and never felt confident about my golf swing.

I committed to give it one more shot and contacted Jeff Coston. This has turned out to be the best thing I have ever done in seeking to improve my game.

While obviously a sensational player, Jeff continues his own quest to learn more and how to effectively teach and communicate to his students. We started with some fundamentals that were lacking and then came up with a plan to move forward. There was a minimum of clutter and complexity. There was just the right amount of video and every lesson was summarized and emailed to me which was invaluable for reviewing and accelerating the learning process.
Jeff works as hard on being an effective teacher as he does on his own golf game and I love that passion. Long game, short game, and the mental side of competing are all covered in the plan. I can see and feel my progress and it is dramatic… for the first time in my life I am hitting a draw!

The facility in Semiahmoo is very nice and allows for lessons in any weather conditions and at any time of the year. I can’t say enough about this remarkable teacher and how effective he is. He will truly get you on the right track regardless of whether you are an aspiring tour player or a passionate recreational participant.

At the beginning of my junior year, I knew I had to play well. Adults and fellow competitors had told me that if I wanted to play collegiate golf, I had to be at the top of my game and impress. I came into the season wanting and hoping to play my best. As I began the season, thoughts raced through my head. Will I get a scholarship? Will I make it to State? What will people think of me? I was all business.

This was my year, no time for fun only focus. One week in, I shot a 41 then a 44. What was wrong? I’d been doing everything right hadn’t I? How could this be happening? Then it hit me. What had Jeff been telling me all these years? All those things he said that I nodded my head in agreement, tried for a few rounds and gave up finally made sense. It took some of my worst play for me to play my best. I had to ask myself “what is a game worth playing”?

The answer was easy, it had been right in front of me the whole time. Jeff was shoving the answer in my face every month. He told me to play with joy and passion. I had to be free and not worry about any outcomes, but to focus on the process. I needed to let go of everything and approach this game with new eyes. I had to see it as a game and that no amount of stress or wishing would help me play any better. I had to play unburdened by any past or future event affecting my game. Jeff told me to play as if I were not attached to any outcome.

Once I fully understood what Jeff had taught me, I could now trust my game and commit to each and every shot. I was finally a patient golfer who didn’t care how I started or ended up. I was having fun again. This was all thanks to Jeff. I finished my season with 5 straight matches under par winning 6 overall and shooting a 71 at Districts to qualify for State. It was all so easy and I owe it all to the man with his name on the sign.
