What Golf Instruction and Video Content Is Available on GolfPass?

Updated

GolfPass hosts a video instruction library that covers the full game — full swing, short game, putting, and physical conditioning — taught by touring coaches and players. The content is organized into named series and standalone drills, so you can follow a structured program (like School of Golf or Breaking 80) or jump straight to a fix for one specific problem. It suits golfers who want coached instruction on demand rather than a single tip; if you only need course reviews or tee-time savings, the instruction library is a bonus rather than the reason to join.

What topics the instruction covers

The library is built around the skills that show up on a scorecard, not just the driver:

  • Full swing and ball striking — School of Golf, hosted by coach Eric Cogorno alongside Blair O'Neal, opens with a chapter on what the site calls "the most important skill in golf: consistent ground contact." That framing tells you the series starts with strike quality before moving to other swing work.
  • Short game — chipping and pitching get dedicated drills (see below), with an emphasis on choosing the right shot and controlling trajectory and rollout.
  • Putting — including a short-putt drill focused on keeping the lower body still.
  • Mobility and fitness — a Mobility series with trainer Don Saladino covers exercises to lengthen the swing, improve balance, and train weight shift.
  • Swing analysis — breakdowns of specific players' swings, such as Martin Hall analyzing Shane Lowry's action.
  • Course management and scoring — Breaking 80 with Martin Chuck is aimed at golfers trying to shoot in the 70s, and a "Total Game Graduation" session ties together pre-shot routine and course management.

The named series and what each is for

Series / content Instructor Focus
School of Golf Eric Cogorno, Blair O'Neal Core skill building, starting with consistent ground contact
Breaking 80 Martin Chuck Tools and strategy to break 80
Mobility Don Saladino (with Debbie Doniger, Vince Cellini) Flexibility, balance, weight shift
Total Game Graduation Nathalie Pre-shot routine, course management, final challenges
Swing breakdowns Martin Hall Studying effective swings (e.g., Shane Lowry)

Examples of specific drills

The instruction isn't only conceptual — several pieces are built around a single repeatable drill:

  • Chip vs. Pitch Drill (Devan Bonebrake) — explains why comfort should guide your shot choice around the green, then uses two one-handed drills to build feel and execution on both shots.
  • Chipping Landing Spot Drill (Tony Ruggiero) — the premise is that good chipping starts with picking a landing spot. You chip to the same spot with different wedges to see how each club changes trajectory and rollout, which expands your short-game options.
  • Steady Knees, Better Short Putts (Devan Bonebrake) — a short-putt drill built on keeping the knees still, on the logic that a stable lower body produces a more consistent stroke.

How the content is organized

Two structures run in parallel. The series format gives you a sequence to work through — useful if you want a program rather than isolated tips. The standalone drill format lets you target one weakness without committing to a full course. The site also surfaces featured stories alongside instruction, including tournament previews and viewing guides, so the library mixes skill content with golf news and events.

How to decide if it fits your game

  • Choose the series route if you want structured improvement and are willing to work through lessons in order — School of Golf for fundamentals, Breaking 80 if scoring is your goal.
  • Choose the drill route if you have one recurring problem (chunked chips, inconsistent short putts, limited turn) and want a specific practice task.
  • Consider the fitness content if your swing issues trace back to mobility or balance rather than technique.
  • Look elsewhere if you want live, in-person coaching or personalized swing feedback — this is on-demand video instruction, not a replacement for a coach who can see your swing.

One practical note: the page promotes a "$40 off tee times" offer and mentions a free trial, but plan pricing, what each tier includes, and any login requirements aren't specified in the available material — check the current plans page directly before assuming what a membership costs or covers.
