JOEL TROYPGA Golf Academy
Online with Joel on Skillest from anywhere in the world, or face to face at the academy in Hanoi. Same coach, same method, same plain language.
Most golfers do not need a new swing. They need to understand the one they have, know the single change that will move the needle, and have a way of training it that survives contact with a first tee.
That is what Joel coaches. Clear and easy solutions to lowering your score — diagnosis in plain language, one priority at a time, and drills that are built around your golf, your body and the amount of time you actually have.
As someone who has always been more of a player than a practicer, I understand the importance of relating what you're working on to actually using it on the course.Joel Troy · Australian PGA Professional
At the range
Skillest is the app professional coaches use to work with players remotely. There is no studio to book and no time zone to negotiate — you film, Joel replies.
Face-on and down-the-line, on your phone, at whatever range you already use. That is the whole setup.
Add what you are fighting, what your misses look like and what you want to shoot.
A voiced-over video back — lines drawn on your own swing, the cause explained, one clear priority.
Custom demonstration videos and drills, sequenced so the change holds up under pressure.
Booked and paid through Skillest, in US dollars. Cancel a subscription any time.
One swing, analysed properly. Best when you have a specific fault you want diagnosed and a drill to take away.
Diagnosis, then a re-check once you have put the work in — so the change is confirmed rather than assumed.
A structured block with a plan behind it. Three connected lessons that build to one real change in your golf.
Send as many swings as you like, as often as you like. For players who are genuinely training and want a coach on call.

Bruce · The Camp, 2026“Joel was endlessly patient fixing my swing and Kiran had me doing brilliant new exercises — a faultless, sunny week in Central Vietnam.”
Rev · The Camp, 2026“I had a blast — so worth coming. The camp helped me focus, develop my swing and make significant improvements to my game.”
Max · The Camp, 2026No. A phone and somewhere to hit balls. Film face-on and down-the-line at normal speed — the app handles the rest.
Usually within a day or two of you uploading. He is in Vietnam (GMT+7), so a swing sent overnight from Europe or Australia is typically waiting for you.
Yes. Joel coaches everyone from first-timers to elite amateurs — the difference is what he asks you to work on, not whether he will take you on.
That is the ideal. Lessons in Hanoi when you are here, Skillest to keep the work honest when you are not.
Cancel at any time inside Skillest. There is no minimum term.
Yes — juniors, college-bound players and elite amateurs, with a long-term plan rather than a series of one-off lessons.
