Meet Marcus Hakkinen
A PGA Professional dedicated to helping golfers of all levels unlock their true potential — online and in person.
My Coaching Journey
I've been passionate about golf my entire life. Growing up, I fell in love with the game and knew early on that I wanted to dedicate my career to helping others experience the same joy and satisfaction that golf brings.
After qualifying as a PGA Professional, I spent years working with golfers across all skill levels — from complete beginners picking up a club for the first time, to competitive amateurs chasing their best handicap. That experience taught me one thing above all else: every golfer is different, and cookie-cutter advice simply doesn't work.
That's why I built a coaching system that starts with you — your swing, your schedule, your goals. Whether we're working together online through video analysis or face-to-face on the range, every session is built around what you specifically need to improve.
My Coaching Philosophy
Great coaching isn't about giving tips — it's about building a system that creates lasting improvement.
01
Diagnose First
Before we change anything, I need to understand your swing, your tendencies, and your goals. Every plan starts with a thorough assessment.
02
Build a Clear Plan
Improvement doesn't happen by accident. I create a structured, progressive plan so you always know what to work on and why.
03
Consistent Feedback
Weekly check-ins, video reviews, and ongoing support keep you accountable and ensure you're moving in the right direction.
04
Measure Progress
We track your improvement with data — handicap, ball striking stats, and scoring trends — so you can see exactly how far you've come.
