Parents & Coaches: Stop Wasting Money on Golf Lessons | Dan Bubany, PGA
In this episode of The Golf Sit Down, we sit down with Dan Bubany, PGA Professional, to break down what actually leads to long-term golf improvement — and why traditional one-hour golf lessons often fail players, parents, and coaches.
Dan shares his journey from broadcast journalism to full-time golf coaching, and explains why group coaching, on-course training, and results-based development outperform private instruction in nearly every way. From junior golf development to adult amateurs struggling to break 90, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
We cover:
Why group coaching creates faster improvement
The difference between a golf coach and an instructor
How parents can best support junior golfers (without pushing)
Why training on the driving range doesn’t translate to the golf course
How accountability, process, and results all work together
What traits the best golf students share
How coaches can shift toward modern, sustainable coaching models
If you’re a parent of a junior golfer, a golf coach, or a player frustrated with slow progress, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about golf instruction.
