You may not have heard of a golf instruction app called ‘Golf Live’, but you will. As virtual golf instruction becomes more and more sought after, there is one company, and only one company that brings its patented live video capture, replay and analysis to your phone or tablet. Golf Instruction on Demand.
Keith Scioli, Founder and CEO, created Golf Live to solve his own personal need for an instructor when there was not one to be found at the range. Prepping for an important tournament, Scioli was struggling with his swing. Without access to an in-person coach, Keith wondered why, with all the technology available today he could not use an app on his phone and contact a coach remotely when needed. And Golf Live was born…
Golf Live and its patented Live Video Replay technology brings the lesson tee to you – wherever you are, at home, in the office, in a simulator, or at the range. The Golf Live App connects coaches to students in a seamless manner with on-demand calling or text messaging. Once connected, student and coach communicate much the same way you do using known peer-to-peer video calling programs (Zoom® and Facetime® come to mind), but with one dynamic exception – real-time video capture and replay, all inside of the app.
The student sets up their device and their coach remotely capture their swing, or swings, and then plays them back to the student as if they were standing right beside them on the lesson tee or in a coaching studio. The coach can advance the video back and forth, draw lines or circles or angles as any video analysis program can, bring in another swing for side-by-side comparison, all the while the entire video lesson and conversation is recorded and saved to the student’s locker for review at any time.
In addition, with Golf Live, a player can record their own swing videos and send them to a coach via the app for analysis. Golf Live works just as seamlessly during a live, in-person lesson with swings and analysis saved to the student’s locker for later review. Coaches can add in their own tips and drills adding lasting value to the instruction sessions.
Virtual instruction eliminates most players’ challenges of not enough time in the day and the expense of driving to and from lessons. With remote coaching, instructors can work with their students more often, which is key to making lasting improvements. Ask top coaches, many times 15-minute tune-up are more valuable than a 1-hour lesson.
Several of 2025’s top ranked instructors use Golf Live including Mark Blackburn (Golf Digest #1), Chris Como (Golf Digest #2), Mike Malaska (named one of Golf Digest ‘Legends of Golf Instruction’), and Erika Larkin (Golf Digest Top 50). Each coach has their own style, and Golf Live can accommodate their different needs whether they are working with Tour Players, College Athletes, High-Performance Juniors, Golf School attendees, or every player type and ability in between.
Golf Live verifies all the coaches on their platform to ensure the quality of the instruction is the highest possible. Whether you are in St. Andrews, Orlando, Hong Kong or Scottsdale, you can connect with a coach anywhere in the world to get the coaching you need – when you need it.
