Golf with Coach Jake Mcbride

I’ve spent over a decade in golf, both as a player and a coach, and I’m passionate about helping others reach their full potential in the game. For 8 years, I competed as a touring professional, gaining firsthand experience with the physical, technical, and mental demands of high-level golf. After my playing career, I spent 2 years in professional club fitting, where I learned how the right equipment can make a huge impact on performance. That knowledge still plays a big role in how I coach today. Now, as the Assistant Golf Coach at Catawba College, I get to combine my tour-tested experience, equipment expertise, and love for teaching to help players develop complete games. My coaching philosophy is about more than just swing mechanics — I focus on building confident, disciplined athletes who can succeed on and off the course.
