Social Media vs. Elevate Golf

Social Media vs. Elevate Golf

Social media has made golf more visible and approachable. It’s brilliant for inspiration, discovering drills, and seeing how different Players solve similar problems. But most posts are made for a broad audience. They’re not built around your swing, your body, or your goals. That’s why Players often meet conflicting advice or quick fixes that don’t quite fit. Even a simple open clubface can stem from many causes; without personal guidance, it’s hard to know what to change first (see Personalised Tips).

Quality control is another challenge. Not every creator is a qualified Coach, and platforms reward entertainment as much as expertise. Popularity doesn’t always equal accuracy, safety, or suitability. What helps one Player can hold another back (see Player & Coach Safety).

For Coaches, social media can feel like an endless treadmill: posting daily, replying to comments, watching algorithms, and curating a public persona. It rarely pays fairly for the time and knowledge it takes to teach well. Many great Coaches prefer coaching to content creation, and some value privacy over performance on camera (see What Coaches Can Expect).

Elevate Golf takes a different path. We complement social media rather than compete with it. Think of us as an app built for real coaching - verified Coaches (see Uploading Qualifications), personal Personalised Tips, and a clear way to earn. Instead of saying “follow me on YouTube,” a Coach can say, “for a personalised Tip, find me on Elevate Golf” via the Coach Gallery. Coaches set their own prices, keep control of their time, and focus on teaching - not chasing views.

For Players, every Tip is created in direct response to your swing or question by a verified Coach (see Personalised Tips). No guesswork, no generic advice. Each Tip is saved to your personal Tip Gallery, so it can be replayed at the range, at home, or before a round. There are no subscriptions; choose when help is wanted and pay only for what is needed via Get a Tip.

Use social media for ideas and motivation. Come to Elevate Golf for guidance that’s yours alone - personal, fair, and designed to build confidence without intimidation. Real Coaches. Real Tips. Real progress.
