A great request gives a Coach the right information to provide clear, useful advice. The process is simple, and a short video or written note is enough - provided it shows what the Player wants to improve and explains the immediate challenge. For filming and upload steps, see How to Record & Upload and Best Practices for Clear Videos for text-only requests, see Submitting Without a Video.

Specifics help a Coach act with precision. Rather than “better drives,” a Player might write - “My driver starts left and curves right with 15 yards of slice. I am looking for one checkpoint and one drill to fix this.” Clear titles and concise descriptions keep the request focused - see Adding Context: Title & Issue Description.

Stating an outcome keeps guidance on track. Examples - “more centred strike with 7-iron,” “reduce three-putts inside 30 feet,” or “calmer routine on final three holes.” Brief, relevant constraints a Player faces also help the Coach tailor the Tip to what is feasible - “two 30-minute range sessions this week,” or “can only practice putting indoors” or “winter tight lies on home course cause thin contact.”

Honesty matters. If confidence dips under pressure, practice time is limited, or there is a temporary niggle to work around, a Coach can shape advice to fit reality. A great request does not need to be long - just clear. The result is a personal Tip that lands quickly and can be saved to the Tip Gallery for easy replay when it’s time to practise or play Saving & Replaying Tips.
