What Pros are Saying

I would recommend Jeff Coston to anyone at any level whether you are looking to break 80 or to go from 71 to 67. He will be able to break down the game in a way that anyone at any level can understand and learn from.

Jeff’s rare experience of having played at the highest level, combined with exceptional communication and technical knowledge, make him one of the very best instructors in America. Teaching beginners to professionals, his ability to get players to score lower on the course is where he excels.

Jeff Coston is the rare combination of a great player and a great teacher. To excel at one requires dedication, to excel at both requires the combination of talent, dedication and hard work. I have had the pleasure of teaching side by side with Jeff and have been amazed by his commitment to his students and his ability to diagnose the cause of the problem, communicate the cure and execute the drills neccessary to remedy the problem. Jeff has a deep compassion for each of his students and goes the extra mile to make them better. He teaches a holistic approach, encompassing all the facets of the game. He builds the foundation of a golf swing that will hold up under pressure, a short game that will keep them in the game and a course strategy that allows them to compete regardless of how they hit it. Jeff’s ability as a player separates him as a teacher. He has the knowledge of what it takes to succeed as a tournament player.

Jeff’s tour experience and teaching methods set him apart from other teaching pros, allowing him to instruct players from all abilities, including beginning juniors to advanced tour professionals. Jeff helped me elevate my game to the highest of levels, to achieve my goals of playing on the LPGA Tour. I consider Jeff a true mentor to the game of golf.

As a thirty two year PGA Tour veteran I have seen many players as well as teachers come and go. Jeff Coston still remains both an exceptional player as well as a teacher. His constant thirst for knowledge of the golf game is an inspiration. There are very few teachers I would ask to take a look at me when I need help, but Jeff is on that short list. Over the years he has given me tips that have been very helpful. As a man, Jeff is very grounded in his faith and has always been a quiet inspiration to others. I cannot give a higher recommendation for someone wanting to improve there golf game than Jeff Coston. I am indeed fortunate to call Jeff my friend of many years.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with Jeff on and off the golf course. My game has changed dramatically under his guidance. He is so knowledgeable and what blows me away is his passion to continue learning. Above all he is an amazing person and he cares deeply about each person in his life. Jeff is truly one of my heroes in golf.

I have known Jeff Coston now for almost 10 years. He is one of the most passionate people I know who continues to challenge me in golf and my life. He is very skilled at preparing for a golf tournament, breaking down the golf course, and having a tremendous game plan to shoot low scores each day. He really has taught me how to score on the golf course. He has been an inspirational person in my golf career…I would not have made it on the LPGA tour without his knowledge and guidance!

Whether you’ve just started to develop your golf game or you’ve played for years Jeff has a remarkable talent to adapt his teaching to the ability of the student. He has taught my three teenage daughters as well as myself and has helped us all improve our games. Jeff’s ability to communicate with any student separates him from other teachers.

Any person looking to improve their golf skills and overall knowledge of the game should spend time with Jeff Coston. Jeff’s tournament playing experience combined with his genuine love for making his students play at the top of their ability level makes him a truly unique coach. Working with Jeff for several years has changed everything that I believe in as a golfer and golf professional. Beyond that, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

I have known Jeff for over 10 years as a friend, fellow competitor, and as a coach. Jeff has been instrumental in the development of my full swing, short game, and course management skills. Since working with him, I have won several professional events in the Northwest as well as qualified for 4 Nationwide Tour Events. I would highly recommend Jeff to any golfer, regardless of skill level, interested in improving their golf game.

I have been a student of Jeff’s for nearly a decade. And I honestly cannot imagine where I would be without his guidance and instruction. From my junior golf days to collegiate golf, and now pursuing a career in professional golf, Jeff has been a focal point in helping shape, improve my golf game and excel on the course. He has been a coach, role model, and mentor over the years, but most importantly he is my very good friend, offering advice, and always willing the listen. He is a person of integrity, compassion and honesty. I have been very fortunate to have him as a swing coach and for that I am thankful.

I’ve known Jeff for nearly 30 years as a player, teacher, and friend. I don’t think there is anyone who has a better understanding of the key ingredients needed to become successful in golf and life.

Like an aged southern whiskey, Jeff Coston’s educational style is smooth and direct. Offering the edginess of a seasoned tour player, combined with the compassion of a loving father. Spending time with him as a friend or student is informative, inspirational and motivating.

As a former PGA Professional, I have competed against, played with and caddied for Jeff Coston. I can tell you hands down he out-works everyone both physically and mentally, constantly striving to be a little better each day, never settling for less than his best, EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have watched Jeff hit balls for two hours before teaching for eight hours and then practicing for two more hours after. His passion to be the best is amazing. He is always seeking out and asking how he can be a better player and instructor. His power button is always on and the play button is always lit up.

I have spent a lot of time around talented teachers, very famous instructors. Jeff’s passion and energy for teaching is second to none and the message he delivers has not wavered even as his career has” shall we say” seasoned. He is just as excited now as he was twenty years ago. I cannot say that about the other instructors I have worked with and for. His ability to deliver his message through the spoken, visual and kinesthetic is second to none.

Now to the most important, if you are fortunate enough to spend time with Jeff you will come away a better human being. Jeff has been an unbelievable influence and mentor in my life, I am a better husband, father and man from our time together. The day I asked Jeff for help with my game I unknowingly changed my life for the better FOREVER. Every visit, phone call or text leaves me energized and wanting more.

Just wanted to shoot you a note and say Thank You again. Things are definitely coming along, and the last two rounds I’ve played I made 8 birdies and 7 birdies each. I feel better and more in control of my ball than I have in a while. The hope is turning into confidence again and I couldn’t be looking forward to this upcoming season more.

The two outside resources I choose are Jeff Coston and Mike Bender.  Jeff Coston supplies daily instructional video tips with his voice on Twitter under @coston_jeff and Mike Bender supplies daily Instagram with instructional video tips: @mikebender.  I know most young pros are on social media and I wish I had a daily doses of short instructional video knowledge from experts right from the start of my career.  While books and magazine articles certainly still play a huge roll, it is the convenience of viewing a couple of tips per day that adds up to a lot of tried and true knowledge.  Both Jeff and Mike teach together at certain points of the year.  They are both award winning instructors on a major scale.  I particularly like them as they can give a master lesson with teaching aids and video, which they can share with their students.

With a traffic cone, they demonstrate how to take the club back with width and parallel to the feet.  With a wall, they demonstrate depth, which sets up an inside attack.  With a line on the ground perpendicular to the target line, they demonstrate how a squat slide leading the downswing can result in the bottom of the swing arc at the correct point in front of the ball.  They clearly show where the grip end should point at the target line when part way back when the shaft goes through the right bicep.

The videos sometime show another way or drill of completing the same task.  They have a range from top players to people just starting to play with all ages and abilities.  I have found this to be part of my morning ritual.  Even as an older and established teacher, you have to be hungry and search out information.  I have had lots of success, not only teaching my members, but have had several players play at all levels in college and my high school teams have gone on to win Regional and State Championships.  I stick by their methods as I have seen golfers progress with their system for years.

Jeff Coston is one of the most talented golfers I’ve ever played with. Beyond that, he’s one of the nicest guys I know.

Jeff is one of the very best instructors in America.
