At 13, Henni, became the youngest amateur ever to tee it up on the Ladies European Tour. Seven years as a pro, two Women’s Opens and a career-ending back injury later, she swapped the fairway for the Sky Sports sofa, and then landed one of golf’s most unlikely gigs: four years as Tiger Woods’ on-screen partner at GOLFTV. Clappy and I sit down with Henni to unpack the whole ride: Playing a practice round with a pre-superstar Inbee Park, and the banana incident that nearly ended her first tour ...
Louis Savill is one of the fastest-rising short game coaches in the world, and a Skillest power user in every sense. He runs his in-person lessons, bookings, subscriptions and a booming online business all through the platform. Baden and Clappy sit down with Louis to unpack how he thinks about the short game. Hint: there’s no one right way to do it. We get into: Why “just use the bounce” has been leaned on for way too longArc height vs low point: the two concepts that fix most bad contactStee...
For 20 years, Andy Little’s life ran on repeat. Same junior groups, same schools, same capped income. Then, on a balcony in Jamaica for his 40th, he watched a Skillest coach teaching golf from Bali and decided to change everything. Today Andy is fully online, done with lessons by 9am, playing his best golf in a dozen years, and about to split his year between the UK and his new place in Dubai. Baden and Clappy dig into how he got there: nine months of getting nowhere, the pivot that worked, w...
Five years ago Tyler Coonts was working in advertising at Google, sneaking into empty conference rooms to give free swing breakdowns on the Hudl app. Then George Gankas told him mid-lesson: "You should be teaching." Now he's one of the most in-demand coaches on Skillest. He does six hours of Zoom lessons a day, and his analysis queue hasn't been empty in three years. This year he also picked up almost 70,000 Instagram followers off a single drill. Baden and Clappy talk to Tyler about: Learnin...
What happens when a coach builds such a strong brand that Hollywood calls? This week Baden and Clappy sit down with Nathan Leonhardt. He founded Tour Development Academy in Vancouver, won PGA BC Teacher of the Year, was one of Skillest's original top coaches, and is now the full-time golf consultant on Apple TV's Stick, starring Owen Wilson. A back injury ended Nathan's playing career on the Canadian Tour and in Asia, so he built his teaching around the body. He was one of the first coaches t...
Steve Astle joins Baden and Clappy for an unscripted, end-of-season riff on where golf coaching is headed. Steve is one of the most influential figures in the industry, and his influence is especially pronounced in how coaches build and scale their businesses online, not just his track record coaching in person. He's the founder of Golf Coaching Business, has been working with Skillest for nine to ten years, and has spent well over a decade helping coaches turn scattered one-off lessons into ...
Ryan Hager, Director of Instruction at Plainfield Country Club in New Jersey, joins the show to talk about his path into coaching, his time training under Jim McLean, and what it's really like teaching at one of the Northeast's elite private clubs. Ryan shares the story of his mentor Wes Mensing, whose sudden death shaped his decision to go into instruction, and breaks down what makes McLean's six-month certification program so demanding: rigorous critical-thinking training, legendary Monday ...
Alex Buckner didn't fall in love with coaching, he fell in love with winning. In this episode, the tour coach behind Marco Penge's breakout three win 2025 season opens up about reverse engineering an entire career: from a failed playing career and three jobs just to fund tournament entries, to becoming an "OG" Skillest power user documenting thousands of in person lessons, to reinventing himself again and again, short game specialist, long game coach, and now full service performance manager ...
