Scroll below to view what athletes are saying about Jeff Coston. "When I first came to see Jeff I was a 14-index with unrealized potential. Jeff helped me learn the proper swing path and efficient routes to that path. Lots of drills, feedback devices, encouragement, golf stories, videos…and patience. As my physical skills progressed we worked on the mental side, how to manage the course, creative shot-making, and how to score. I now play to a 5-index, and believe the best is yet to come." - Jeffrey Ross, Mercer Island, WA - Senior Golfer "My name is Kathy and I have been a student of Jeff Coston since July, 2006. For years I played competitive amateur golf but was never able to improve my performance. I had lofty goals of competing at the highest levels of amateur golf but a swing and a mental game that would not allow me to advance. I knew that by seeking out not only a top notch player but the best PGA teaching professional in the state, I would finally be on the right track. I was very fortunate to become a student of Jeff’s. When I first came to Jeff I had good basic fundamentals but a swing that would require a lot of re-work. I was strongly committed, as was Jeff, to improving my swing so I could ultimately achieve my goals. I didn’t play golf as a junior and first picked up the game at the age of 28. Golf is a challenging game even for young people, but taking it up later in life is twice as hard. I have improved dramatically over the last three years with Jeff as my coach. I had my most successful season thus far in 2009 by winning the first flight of my club championship. I was also runner-up in the SWGA City Championship in my flight. For the first time ever I was able to play in the USGA Women’s Mid-Amateur Qualifier and also qualified for the Golf Channel Amateur Tour National Championships that was held at PGA West. I want to thank Jeff for his time and commitment, patience, and excellent instruction." - Kathyrn Provazek " Jeff coston, in my opinion, is the best golf instructor in the Northwest. He has helped me in all apsects of my life, and his caring attitude goes beyond the golf course. The instruction Jeff gives comes with great passion for the game. After years under his guidence I realize all the aspects to becoming successful in golf. He not only touches on the mechanics of the golf swing, but also emphasizes the importance of the mental game. Thank you Jeff for all the years of growth you have given me in my admiration for the game of golf." - Jeff Neeley - College Player "Over the past two and a half years or so, I have been going to Jeff Coston for golf lessons. In this time frame Jeff has taken me from a golfer who was struggling to break 90 to the college golfer I am today. I have enjoyed our journey the entire time. Jeff has a way of relating golf to other sports in a way that helps clarify the swing thoughts. I have never met or heard of a golf instructor that cares as much as Jeff does about the well being of his students. What separates Jeff Coston from every other golf instructor besides his impeccable playing record, experience, and his vast knowledge of the game is his passion for teaching and his love of the game and of his students. I would recommend the Jeff Coston Golf Academy to everyone and anyone who wants to become a better player. " - Eric Hersman - College Player "Jeff has been one of the most important people in my golf and in my life. Through his instruction he enabled me to accomplish the goals we set and helped me mentally and emotionally along the way." - Katie Sharpe - Junior/Highschool Champion and College Player "Jeff doesn't just show you how to swing a golf club, he breaks down the game in a way that anyone can learn from and take with them forever. The greatest thing Jeff has taught me is how to practice with a purpose to get the most out of my time. It's one thing to go out and smack balls. It is another to go out and have a game plan on what you want to accomplish with your swing and how you are going to do that. The Jeff Coston Golf Academy isn't just a place to work on your golf game, it is a place to build relationships. Jeff truly cares about each student and isn't just a golf coach, but a mentor in life as well." - Katya Case - College Player "Great teachers combine knowledge, skill, understanding and communication not just to learn, but to enjoy the process of learning. Jeff Coston has the perceptive eye and the knowledge of competitive golf to pinpoint areas in your game that need improvement. He then develops a series of activities and learning points for you to improve your game within minutes. His friendly manner and easy going way of communicating get the points across loud and clear and in a way that you come away from the lesson with inspiration and a sense of accomplishment. Jeff has an amazing work ethic; it's helped him be the best competitive golfer in the Pacific Northwest, but it also has guided him to put 110% into your private golf lesson. I'm not just a better golfer, I'm a better golf strategist, too. Amazing." - Shaun Hughes - Senior Golfer "Jeff is an amazingly inspirational and hard-working instructor as well as a competitive tournament golfer. Jeff's dedication is evident by his rigorous practice and teaching schedule that continues through rain or shine, and the occasional snow." - Mike Jaeger - Junior Champion and College Player "I have taken lessons from Jeff Coston for the last two years. During these two years, Jeff has managed to not only better my golf swing, but my mental game as well. Jeff has devoted countless hours to improving my game and helping me to understand all aspects of the game, as well as all aspects of life. If I hadn't made the decision to start taking lessons from Jeff, I would not be the golfer or person that I am today. " - Jarrett Foote - Junior Champion and College Player "As one who has returned to golf after a hiatus of many years, I have been pleasantly surprised by my interaction with instructor Jeff Coston. Not all experts have the insight or patience to teach their game to others. However, Jeff has an almost uncanny understanding of the requirements for a functional reproducible golf swing and can assess the student's swing mechanics, good and bad, very quickly. He has a way of imparting his knowledge of the swing to the pupil that is easy to understand. His use of video allows the student to have a visual concept of what is good about his/her swing and the corrections that Jeff is espousing. He has creative teaching aids that help the student groove the swing using the key components necessary to strike the ball consistently and well. I have been pleased with my progress to date, although I have a long way to go to be considered a respectable golfer. I credit Jeff Coston for helping me work toward this goal." - Alan Williams - Senior Golfer "Jeff Coston teaches much more than how to swing the club; he teaches how to think, score, and become a complete golfer. Jeff really cares about his students, and I trust him entirely. Jeff took me from missing state to finishing seventh-place in one year." - James Hiester - Highschool Golfer “During the past seven years of receiving instruction from Jeff Coston at the Jeff Coston Golf Academy, I am convinced that there is no one in this region better qualified for advancing golfers both young and old of all skill levels. His genuine ambition for improving students to be all they can be on and off the course is what separates him as a coach rather than a mere instructor. Being a high caliber player himself, Jeff is able to assess players’ games further than their swing mechanics, which is what I believe to be his most unique and vital asset. Calling on his insights and concepts from playing lessons have led me to winning two High School State Championships, top finishes at the national level, and currently competing collegiately at the University of Washington. But beyond the ability to teach golf, I have personally gotten to know Jeff as one of the most sincere, fun loving and caring people in my life. For these reasons I will continue to see Jeff as my coach and watch my game progress to its full potential.” - Brittany Tallman “I have known Jeff since 1998. In that time he has been my golf instructor, teacher, coach, friend, mentor and biggest fan. Every time I have the opportunity to work or talk with Jeff, I know it is significant and special. From individual lessons to golf camps, Jeff provides a learning atmosphere where one can grow as a player, person and friend.” - Lauren M. Ressler, College Golf Coach |
