About Caleb
I've coached over 500 golfers and delivered 3,000+ lessons in my 7 years as a golf instructor. But what drives me isn't just the numbers—it's helping golfers at every level unlock their potential through personalized, data-driven coaching.
I'm a coach, competitive player, and relentless student of the game. My approach combines modern technology with athletic movement principles to help you build a swing that's both efficient and uniquely yours.
My journey in golf started young and led me through junior tournaments, college golf at Concordia University, and eventually to turning professional in 2018. Along the way, I discovered that teaching golf is where my passion for competition, learning, and helping others intersect.
Coach
I've spent my entire coaching career in Southern Minnesota, primarily at New Ulm Country Club, with time at Somerby Golf Club and winters in Naples, FL. Now I split time between New Ulm Country Club and North Links Golf Course in Mankato, where I work with everyone from beginners discovering golf to competitive players chasing tournament wins.
Every lesson is backed by FlightScope launch monitor data, video analysis, and the latest coaching research. You'll receive personalized notes and practice tips after each session, giving you clear insights into your swing and progress over time.
Student of the Game
I study biomechanics research, attend coaching summits, and constantly test new training methods. My job is to absorb information from the best minds in golf instruction, then translate that knowledge into coaching that actually works for your game.
When we work together, you're getting the benefit of countless hours I've spent learning from other coaches, reading research, and experimenting with new approaches. I'm never satisfied with "that's how I've always taught it"—if there's a better way to help you improve, I'm going to find it.
Competing keeps me sharp and connects my coaching to real course performance. Since turning professional in 2018, I've played in over 120 professional events with 2 wins, 10 top-5 finishes, and 32 top-10s.
Playing 20-25 tournaments annually isn't just about my own game—it's about understanding the pressure, strategy, and mental challenges my competitive students face. When you're standing over a putt that matters, I've been there.

Coaching Philosophy
My approach is simple: identify what's causing your inconsistencies, build better fundamentals, and help you understand your game well enough to coach yourself on the course.
Golf should be athletic and natural, not robotic. Everyone is an athlete, and when you learn to connect the golf swing to movements you already do well, the game becomes easier to manage. I'll help you understand the "why" behind every change, not just the "what."
Whether you're shooting 110 or competing for championships, the fundamentals are the same: solid contact, generating speed, and understanding your pattern. Master these tee to green, spend time on your short game, and your scores drop.
I utilize the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Body-Swing Connection philosophy to help you swing more efficiently and stay injury-free. Every golfer has a unique physical blueprint, and my coaching adapts to what your body can do, not some textbook ideal.
"There are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club. However, there is one most-efficient way for each player to swing a club and it is based on what they can physically do." —TPI Philosophy
