Ethan Castle | Co-founder and lead coach
Build a golf game that works for you.
Ethan combines professional playing experience, an athlete's understanding of movement, and purposeful accountability to challenge every golfer toward the best player they can become.
A coach who understands the rebuild
He did not grow up with a perfect golf blueprint.
Ethan's path from college baseball to professional golf shapes the way he works with players who are learning, rebuilding, or chasing a higher level.
After an injury ended his baseball career, Ethan found golf at the University of South Carolina. He moved from scores in the 90s to scratch in less than two years, turned professional at 25, and competed on tours in the United States, Latin America, and Europe.
That progression taught him what it feels like to translate athletic ability into a new movement pattern, work through frustration, and make improvement measurable. His coaching starts with the golfer in front of him, not a model swing everyone must copy.
Meet Ethan during a free consultationHow Ethan coaches
Accountability. Purpose. A coach for the full journey.
Every session connects the work in front of the player to the golfer they are working to become.
Set an honest standard
Goals, experience, physical considerations, and the shots costing you define both the destination and the work required.
Coach with accountability
Ethan challenges the player to own the plan, complete purposeful work, and bring intent to every repetition.
Make every session count
Ball flight, video, simulator data, and clear practice tasks keep each session connected to the end goal.
Develop the whole player
With juniors especially, golf skills sit alongside confidence, responsibility, and habits that travel beyond the course.
In Ethan's words
“I coach people in a way that challenges them to be the best player they can possibly be while holding them accountable to the efforts required to get there. I love the challenge of making a player better no matter how lofty their goals are. When working with juniors it’s not just about developing golf skills but shaping them into young adults that thrive on and off the course. Every coaching session is purposeful and is working towards the end goal. I view golf and coaching as a journey and I love walking with each player as they embark.”Ethan Castle | Coaching philosophy
See Ethan coach
He looks, listens, then gives you one clear job.
Golfers work with Ethan because he makes technical information usable. He does not stack five fixes into one lesson or force every player into the same model.
He watches the ball and the movement, asks the right question, demonstrates the idea, and gives the player space to try it. The goal is not a swing that only works during a lesson. It is a motion, decision, and practice plan the golfer can own.
- Specific feedbackOne useful priority instead of a crowded checklist.
- Visible demonstrationsClear examples that turn an explanation into a movement.
- Player-first communicationLanguage and pacing shaped to the golfer in front of him.
- Practice with a purposeA next step that connects the lesson to independent work.
Technology with a purpose
Use the numbers to make the next rep clearer.
Ethan uses Coastal's indoor environment to connect what a golfer feels with what the club and ball are actually doing.
Foresight simulator feedback, video, and PuttView can confirm a pattern, show whether a change is working, and give practice a specific purpose. The technology supports the coaching conversation. It does not replace it.
