About Alex Iguchi

Coach•Instructor•Speaker

For nearly three decades, golf has taken me around the world, not only as a player and coach, but as a student of how people learn.

My coaching journey began in the Netherlands, where I completed the PGA Holland professional program with an education in sports medicine that included biomechanics, anatomy, kinesiology, club repair, and the fundamentals of teaching the game. Since then, I have had the opportunity to teach and work in the United States, Central America, Europe and Asia.

Today, I serve as Director of Coaching & Instruction at PGA Golf Club and am a PGA of America Class A Professional.

But after nearly 30 years of coaching, one lesson has become increasingly clear:

There is no single way to teach every golfer.

Coach the Player, Not the Swing

Every golfer brings something different to the lesson tee, their body, athletic ability, experience, goals, injuries and limitations, available practice time, and even the way they process information.

My job isn't simply to identify what looks wrong in a golf swing.

It's to understand why it's happening and determine what will actually help that particular player improve.

My coaching combines psychology, feel, and analytical experience with biomechanics and modern technology, including TrackMan, Sportsbox 3D AI, and HackMotion. These tools allow us to measure what is happening, but technology is only useful when it makes the game easier to understand.

I believe good coaching should simplify information, not overwhelm the golfer with it.

Better Golf Starts With Better Understanding.

From the Lesson Tee to the Golf Course

Improvement isn't complete because a golfer can hit a better shot during a lesson.

It has to transfer to the golf course.

That is why my coaching extends beyond swing mechanics into practice design, performance, decision-making, course management and understanding your own tendencies as a player.

My philosophy is:

Work on your weaknesses, but play to your strengths.

Train how you play. Play how you train.

The objective isn't perfection. It's developing a golfer who understands what they're doing, knows how to practice it, and can manage their game when it matters.

Coaching the Next Generation

Junior golf has always been an important part of my career.

I believe junior development should create more than technically proficient golfers. Golf provides an opportunity to develop independence, sportsmanship, confidence, responsibility and leadership.

Whether a junior is discovering the game for the first time or pursuing competitive golf, the objective is to help them develop as both a golfer and a person.

  • Presenter at the PGA Show

  • PGA of America Class A Professional

My professional development has included education and certifications in golf instruction, biomechanics, physical performance and coaching technology, including NASM Certified Personal Trainer, TPI Junior Level 2, TrackMan Level 2, Sportsbox 3D AI, HackMotion, Jim McLean Certified Coach and SuperSpeed Level 3.

Throughout my career, I have also been fortunate to learn from and work around respected teachers and mentors including Jim McLean, John Jacobs, Chris van der Velde, Phil Allen and Ray Leach.

Educating Coaches

My interest in teaching extends beyond the golfer.

I also speak and present on coaching, biomechanics, technology, player development, program development and the art of teaching.

I believe that continuing education is one of the most important responsibilities we have as coaches.

Practice develops the player. Education develops the coach.

Golf Around the World

Golf has allowed me to live, work and teach across cultures and continents. Those experiences have shaped the way I coach today.

Different countries teach the game differently. Different coaches see the swing differently. And different golfers learn differently.

That perspective has reinforced something I have believed throughout my career:

There may be many ways to swing a golf club, but the best coaching starts with understanding the person standing in front of you.
