5 Reels Ideas for Golf Coaches That Actually Get Views

If you’re a golf coach looking to grow on Instagram, Reels are your best friend. But staring at a blank screen, wondering what do I even post? — we’ve all been there.

Here are 5 simple but powerful Reels ideas that will help you stand out, provide value, and attract the right followers:

1. Before & After Swings
Film a student’s swing before your coaching, and then after a few sessions.
🎯 Why it works: Shows proof of your coaching impact in just 10–15 seconds.
💡 Tip: Add text overlays like “From slice to straight in 2 weeks.”

2. Quick Fix Tips
Share short, punchy tips like: “Stop topping the ball with this one tweak.”
🎯 Why it works: High value, easy to digest, and replayable.
💡 Tip: Use captions and slow-mo for better engagement.

3. Day in the Life as a Coach
Take people behind the scenes — warm-ups, lesson prep, on-course moments.
🎯 Why it works: Builds connection and shows the human side of your brand.
💡 Tip: Add trending audio to increase reach.

4. Myth Busting
Tackle common golf myths (e.g. “Keep your head down” might be hurting your swing).
🎯 Why it works: Controversial (in a good way) and sparks engagement.
💡 Tip: Use text like “STOP doing this…” to hook viewers in.

5. Student Testimonials
Ask happy students to share what changed after working with you.
🎯 Why it works: Social proof sells. And video makes it personal.
💡 Tip: Keep it under 30 seconds, and add your branding subtly.

Final Thoughts
Golf Reels don’t need to be flashy — they need to be valuable. Stay consistent, keep it real, and you’ll see growth.
