Frequently Asked Questions

Everything people ask me before they get started. If your question isn't here, email me at kyle@kylekilleengolfacademy.com — I answer these myself.

Getting Started

What's the difference between the courses and the coaching program?

The online courses are self-paced. You buy one once ($197 each, or $297 for both) and you own it for life — video lessons, drill sheets, and written guides you work through on your own schedule. The Online Coaching Program ($175/month) is me working with you directly: you send swing videos every week and I send back an annotated breakdown built around your game. The courses teach you the framework. The coaching program applies that framework to your swing.

I'm a high handicapper. Is this for me?

Yes. The whole approach is built around understanding your own ball flight well enough to diagnose yourself, and that's more valuable the earlier you learn it. There's no prerequisite handicap for either the courses or the coaching program.

Do I need a launch monitor or any special equipment?

No. A phone is enough — you record and upload straight from the range or the course, with no extra apps and nothing to upload to YouTube. If you do have access to launch monitor data, I'll show you which numbers actually matter and how to read them, but it's never a requirement.

What does "science-based" actually mean here?

It means the instruction is built on how people actually learn motor skills, not on how golf has traditionally been taught. Ball flight laws come first, because they're the only absolutes in golf. Instruction is adapted to your body and tendencies rather than a tour pro template. And practice is designed for long-term retention — using constraints, games, and pressure simulation — because research is clear that tip-based learning fades fast.

The Online Courses

What do I get when I buy a course?

Lifetime access to that course's video lessons and written materials through your account, including any updates I make later. Across both courses there are 15 modules and 50+ video lessons, plus all the drill sheets and written guides.

Is a course a subscription?

No. Courses are billed once and that's it — one payment, lifetime access. Only the Online Coaching Program is a monthly subscription, and it bills monthly until you cancel.

I bought a course. How do I get into it?

Use the Course Login link at the top of the site and sign in with the same email address you used to buy. That's what unlocks your access. If something doesn't line up, email me and I'll sort it out.

The Coaching Program

How does the online coaching program actually work?

Each week you record two swings from your phone — one down-the-line, one face-on — and upload them. I send back an annotated breakdown with reference lines, biomechanical comparisons, and a voiceover, tied to one specific swing principle, plus the exact drill to groove before your next submission. Turnaround is 48–72 hours. Each month also starts with a short game baseline: chip, pitch, bunker, and putt.

What are the five swing principles?

Plane, Low Point, Ground Reaction Forces, Kinematic Sequence, and Release Pattern. Every weekly lesson connects to one of them, so you always know what you're working on and why — instead of collecting five unrelated tips and hoping one sticks.

Why is the coaching program limited to 15 students?

Because I review every swing myself. Four annotated video lessons per student per month, in 48–72 hours, is only possible at a small number. When the spots are full, you can join the waitlist and I'll contact you as soon as one opens up.

What happens after I apply?

No payment is collected when you apply. I read every application personally and reply within 2 business days at the email you gave me. If it's a fit, I'll send you the next step to get started.

Billing

Can I cancel the coaching program?

Anytime. Cancelling stops future billing and takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Partial months aren't prorated.

Do you offer refunds?

If a course isn't what you expected, email me within 14 days of purchase and we'll work it out. Coaching months that have already been coached aren't refundable, but you can cancel anytime to stop future charges.

What results can I expect?

I won't promise you a number. Golf instruction is educational, and improvement depends on your practice and your play — nobody can honestly guarantee a specific score or handicap result. What I will promise is that you'll understand why your ball does what it does, and what to work on next.

Still deciding?

Start with the courses on your own schedule, or apply for a coaching spot and we'll work on your swing together.
