Virtual Coach AIVirtual Coach AI

Welcome to Virtual Coach AI
Where golf instruction meets AI — and stays honest.

I’m Jim Hartnett, PGA professional. I’ve taught golf since 1984. After thousands of lessons, I kept seeing the same problem: golfers don’t actually know what their body is doing. They’re guessing. I built Virtual Coach AI to fix that.

You upload one swing. You get a full breakdown — setup through finish (P1 to P9), the biggest thing holding you back, and exactly what to work on first. No fluff. No “try 10 different feels.” A real plan you can actually follow.

How it works

1

Record

Use your phone. One down-the-line swing (behind you), iron or driver. Doesn’t have to be fancy — 240p to 480p is fine. Keep the club in frame.

2

Upload

Upload the clip here. We map your motion through P1–P9, look at sequence, delivery, impact, and face control — the same checkpoints I use on the lesson tee.

3

Train

You get your Swing Score, your top 2–3 fixes, and a focused 14-day plan. Do this, in this order. Then re-check.

What you get

We turn your swing into something you can actually act on, not guess at.

  • Your Swing Score (repeatability baseline)
  • Full P1–P9 breakdown in plain language
  • Your top problems, not every problem
  • Simple plan you can follow without a coach standing there

Why this is different

Most golf “advice” is noise. “Keep your head down.” “Turn more.” Okay, thanks. We actually tell you why the ball flies the way it flies.

We look at sequencing, face control, how you deliver the club at P6–P7, whether you’re posting up or hanging back, and what will fall apart under pressure.

Short version: it’s the stuff that actually changes ball flight.

Who it’s for

  • Beginners who want a clean starting blueprint, not a lecture
  • Competitive players who want tighter start line / less chaos under pressure
  • Coaches who want fast, consistent lesson visuals for students

The language adapts to you. A 20-handicap doesn’t get tour-speak. A tournament player doesn’t get kiddie talk.

Inside your report

Your Swing Score
A snapshot of how repeatable the motion is right now. Not a judgment. Just your baseline.
Biggest leaks
Where you’re actually losing consistency or distance — face control, early spin-out, hanging back, timing the clubface, etc.
Your checkpoints (P1–P9)
Setup, takeaway, top, transition, delivery, impact, release, finish. The same language tour coaches use.
Your 14-day plan
Exactly what to work on first, and how long to stick with it before checking again. No more “hit balls and hope.”

Private by default

Your swing and your report are yours. You decide who sees it. Every report can be downloaded, printed, or shared with a link — only if you choose.

Built by a coach

This is not an “app team.” This is 40 years of real lesson tee work, turned into something you can access without booking a lesson.

Built for progress

You don’t need a tour swing. You need something you can repeat on the course. That’s what actually lowers score.

A note from Jim Hartnett

Most golfers practice with effort, not direction. I don’t want you working hard and staying the same.

This isn’t tips. This is a map. You’ll know what’s good, what’s costing you, and what to fix in what order.
